Wiry

Who can resist a wire-haired terrier mix like this one?

Ice breaker on four legs

You're never lonely with a dog ... not only is he a great companion but he'll be an ice-breaker as you walk around your neighbourhood.  These three old man - and a Min Pin - are chatting in Beausoleil.

Pull ...

French bulldogs are strong...

Titouf

I met 'Titouf' in Menton yesterday.  She's a dignified older lady now - 13 years - and is named after a French cartoon character.  Isn't she adorable!

Colour match in Monaco!

Meeting in the Mist

Meeting in the mist ... at the Coulée Verte in Nice.  A French Bulldog and a Staffy mix perhaps - or is he an American Staff?

A cute - as always - French bulldog in Nice yesterday.

Bundles of fluff

Bundles of fluff.  These tiny Pomeranians are waiting to go into the ring at Monaco Dog Show.

Rottie

A Rottie pup walking in a park in Aix-en-Provence this morning.  Very friendly he was too.

Lula

 Meet Lula. I met this pup in a market in Aix-en-Provence today. She's a mix of a Border Collie (which you can see in those staring eyes) and a Pyrenean Mountain Dog. Too adorable!

Border stares

These two Border Collies were waiting to go into the showring at the last Monaco Dog show.  Border Collies have the most intense stare don't they? Such intelligent dogs.

Nina

This little bundle of love is called Nina.  She's two years old and was recently adopted by a lovely couple in Gorbio village, Muriel and Doudou - now the family is complete!

Comfy

A cute long-haired chihuahua looking very content in his owner's arms. Photographed on the streets of Nice.

And then there were four!

There's a fourth one hidden!

Balcony dog

A Brittany spaniel relaxing on his balcony in Castellar - an ancient village above Menton.

Best friends

Best friends ... all a dog wants is to be with his owner.

Cutie pie

This beyond cute Pomeranian was waiting patiently for her owner to take her home.  She's at Cap 3000, a massive shopping centre at Saint Laurent du Var, just beyond Nice.

Life-saver

Who doesn't love a Newfie?  This dog was one of many Newfoundlands in Menton demonstrating their life-saving skills in the sea.
