Dog of the Day - 12th March 2013

Today's Dog of the Day is Tai (again), the young Silken Windhound (Borzoi/Whippet cross), dog-brother to Jaz, the Borzoi/Afghan cross. As with most pups he sits patiently if he knows he's getting a treat; most of the time he is running around like a mad thing. Jaz is far more laid back (in the background).

Dog of the Day - 25th Feb 2013

Today's Dog of the Day is the magnificent Jaz again, the Borzoi/Afghan Hound mix. She is an incredible dog - I grow more and more fond of her every day! Today she sat and posed for me - the perfect subject. She's ten, so a lot more placid than the 9-month-old pup I'm used to, with the energy that comes with that. Here's a selection of photos I captured of her today (one with the unfeasibly cute 5-month-old miniature wire-haired dachshund, Flossy).

Dog of the Day - 15th Feb 2013

The sun was out again today and it was feeling positively spring-like, and the park was full of interesting dogs. If ever there was a strange breed of dog, it's the Borzoi. It's also known as the Russian Wolfhound and is a member of the Sighthound family of dogs (so now you know). Just the weirdest-looking thing! This is actually a cross between a Borzoi and an Afghan Hound, and her name is Jaz; she's ten. She has the most amazingly soft fur, especially on her throat.
