Wanna play?

Two pups who want to play.  Luna, Australian Shepherd and Biggi, Jack Russell terrier in Gorbio village. 

Blonde on Blonde

This lovely dog was lying outside a bar in Grottalgie, in Puglia, Italy.  Perhaps a stray or perhaps she belonged to the bar. Grottalgie is a village with many artisan ceramic factories.

Luna

How utterly gorgeous is this 3 month old Australian Shepherd!  She's called Luna and lives in Gorbio village - love her!

Wet bichon!

Lascar

He looks a bit like a strange dachshund, doesn't he but in fact he's a Bassett des Alpes (also called a Alpine Dachsbracke) The breed originates from Austria and is used to hunt wild boar and also to find wounded animals and this is exactly what he does in Gorbio with his owner.

Saphir

Goldens and little boys or girls go together, don't they?  This is Saphir and he belongs to a little boy in Gorbio village. He's outside the school and waiting for his young owner.

Dog Walker

Walking the dog ... this is Leonie, who lives in Menton and has her owner very well-trained.

Yachtie Dog

Waiting for the boat at Villefranche-sur-Mer.

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?

Frenchie

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!
