Get a real dog if you are going to have dogs!

I currently have two Irish Wolfhounds and two Scottish Deerhounds.

No problems if the can have a sofa each.

Humans often have to fight for space!

Is this real enough for you...?

Questo, our Italian Spinone, 1995-2010.

I'd love a Wolfie, but in a tiny terraced house with garden to match, it just ain't practical!

Cheers,

Chris

Here is our latest addition - Bella, a 7-month old Staffie cross. Someone once described having a young Staff as living with a tiny hurricane...made of bricks. Never a truer word spoken. Despite her rugged appearance, she is an absolute softy.

Another Bella!!

It is a popular name and has already caused some confusion. We never had this trouble with our last Staffie, Grappa

For almost a century, the French registry for dogs (SOCIÉTÉ CENTRALE CANINE?) has followed a system for naming that makes it easy to determine the age of a dog by its registered name. The first name begins with the designated letter for the year, followed by the kennel name (some kennel names may proceed the letter but in France, it is almost always a suffix). Over the years, the letters K, Q, W, X, Y and Z were eliminated because it was difficult to find French names beginning with them. Every 20 years the alphabet starts over. This year it is V.

Our dog is officially Laika as named by the breeder, but we call him Maugan and so does our vet though his papers say Laika.
