Naples Dog Park (Ivy and Theodore)

A dog park in a city is such a great idea. Here,  in Naples,  Ivy, the American Staff and Theodore, a Golden Retriever mix are having the best fun - even if it does look as if they are having a fracas. They are not!

Naples Dog Park (Ivy)

This is the dog park attached to the Church of Santa Chiara in the centre of Naples.  Such a great place for dogs to run and play.  This is 10 month old Ivy, an American Staff with her beautiful owner, Mirabela.  Seems to me all the girls in Naples are beautiful - and so, of course,  are the dogs.

Naples Dog Park (Micky and Brandon)

There is a small enclosed 'dog park' in in the historic centre of Naples, in the grounds of the Church of Santa Chiara.  These two belong to the same owner.   Micky, the Beagle is an Italian Agility champion - he's 8 now and retired from aglity because he has a hip problem.  Brandon on the right is a mix of a Golden retriever and a Maremma sheepdog - he's 1 and a half year old and is currently undergoing agility training.  As you can see both these dogs are beautiful behaved.

Cannelle

Bright as a button, this little Jack Russell terrier. She's 9 years old, is called Cannelle and lives in the Alpes de Haute-Provence. We met in Menton.

Janga

Yesterday, we met Hypso - today we meet his friend, Janga, another beautiful Border Collie. Note the strange and adorable way she holds her ears!

Hypso

The unmistakeable look of a Border Collie - kind, intelligent, always wanting to please and crazy about a tennis ball.  The work of this beautiful dog who lives in Gorbio - he's called Hypso - is to round up the ducks at night and get them into their sleeping quarters.

The dog who loves olives

Ambra love olives - and for a dog that enjoys life on the French and Italian rivieras, that's normal!  And of course her 'papa' removes the olive stone first.

Milly

Milly belongs to friends of mine who live in Villefranche-Sur-Mer. She has to be one of the calmest, most adorable Springer Spaniels I've ever met and she's only 8 months old.
