Tiago
It's so rare to see an Afghan Hound in the south of France - and certainly not one as beautiful and in such wonderful condition as Tiago. In fact Tiago is the first Afghan to appear on Riviera Dogs.
This three-year old was walking in the pedestrian street of Menton where he created quite a stir (don't you love the look the little girl is giving him?) but, as befits such a beauty, wasn't bothered in the least by the crowds. But then he's a Saint Tropez dog so is doubtless used to adulation from the 'in' crowd.

Off to the Flamenco!
This may look a rather strange way of walking the dog but in fact it's sensible. This lady is waiting to get into the Flamenco Festival in Gorbio village - naturally pooch comes too - and with her own little carrying bag she has somewhere to sit comfortably - and feels secure - whilst the performance is on.
If you want to see photos of the flamenco dancing please click on Menton Daily Photo.

Titine
Meet Titine, a totally adorable year old French bulldog who lives in the medieval village of Gorbio. Titine and her owner, Denis, are at the Bar les Terrasses.
Looks like these two are made for each other ... lucky dog, lucky owner.

Prickle
We've met Prickle before on Riviera dogs but that was four and a half years ago. Prickle lives with her owner William at one of Menton's famous gardens, Le Clos du Peyronnet. Here she poses near some of the beautiful old demijohns that appear to float on one of the pools in this magical garden.

Pippo, the High-Energy Jack Russell
This is Pippo, a high-energy one year old Jack Russell who lives in Italy. I met him walking through the medieval village of Gorbio where he wouldn't let go of his tennis ball and that is what he is doing here - clinging on to the ball, feet off the ground. Ideally, I'd have used a different setting on the camera so the background was more blurred but it wouldn't deal with the speed of this little dog.
Perhaps I'll meet him again one day, with his charming owners, Mauro and Dimitri - then we'll settle him down and have another go at a portrait. But then how often is a Jack Russell calm and quiet?!

This post is for Véronique, a fellow-blogger (French Girl in Seattle) who recently visited Menton and Gorbio et moi. We had such a good time together, putting the world to rights over a good bottle of rosé. (or was it half a bottle!) She adores French Bulldogs and one day wants to have one. I'm sure she will!

Patience
Her owner is having a coffee and croissant in Menton whilst she waits patiently. All our dogs ever ask is to be with us - they don't mind how long they wait.
I wish I was as patient as my dogs ...

Biscuit, who lives on a Yacht
This is Biscuit. She's five years old and was given her forever home when her owners found her in a refuge in California. Now she lives on a yacht and shortly after these photos were taken (her summer haircut) was en route for a summer in Turkey.
Biscuit is an adorable, kind dog who has really landed on her feet - or perhaps one should say 'sea legs.' I wonder if dogs get seasick?

Julia at the Arabian Horse Show
You often find whippets at the Arabian Horse Show in Menton. Julia is trying to keep cool in the shade of a tent. (see small photo) She comes from Brittany in northern France and is one year old.
Her young owner walks her past a stable from Oman. You can see pics of the horse show on Menton Daily Photo today.

Tompuss, the Market Dog
The owner of Tompuss was backing up his car when I snapped him. In the smaller photo, you can see the pleasure on his owner's face, proud that his beloved dog is having his photo taken. And beloved he is. He was found, abandoned outside his house. I'd say one lucky dog, wouldn't you? And he gets to be with his owner all day when he's selling at Menton's market.

Who is the loveliest?
Who is the loveliest? This is yet another photo I took at the San Remo show. I'm not sure but think the dog may be a Sloughi. Rather like a Saluki without the feathering on the ears. Doesn't she look the part on her purple bedding? Pretty owner too.

Boy or girl?
This little Papillon has a rather smart travelling case, don't you think? She - or perhaps he? - was at the San Remo show. So bright, so pretty.

Daisy
Last time we had an English cocker spaniel, today meet Daisy, a 4 year old American cocker spaniel. I met her in Menton where she lives. Her owner told me she will soon be having her summer trim when perhaps we'd see her eyes a little better. No matter, she's still gorgeous.
