more on dogs, sorry . . . . .

just wanted to show you a few more pics that i like. i went to this dog show in august held in windsor park. it was fantastic and i don't think i have ever seen so many dogs together at the same time. it was the seven biggest U.K. animal charities organising a fun day to fund raise, among other things.

they also tried to break the world record of number of dogs sitting for two enire minutes, i don't actually know if they managed. it was very busy, but all in all a nice day, after which we went to see windsor castle from outside.

basically the whole day i tried to chase dogs with the same colouring as rio. it is basically a mutation that changes a dog's black colouring into this grey-black-spotty pattern. it is recessive and often comes with blue or part-blue eyes.

the first two days i think were brothers, lurchers for sure. they were fairly big and looked fantastic both together. i particularly liked the black and grey colouring of the dog in the back, but have seen a similar colour of the beige dog in a picture with a podenco in spain.



and this is rio's new girlfriend. she is apparently a greyhoud x whipped x border collie x bedlington terrier and is just about exactly the dog we would be looking for as an addition to our family.



and these two pups i absolutely loved. probably siblings as well, very very cute, could have taken them home.
