Dog of the Day - 26th Feb 2013

Today it is cold and drizzly - the camera is staying safely indoors! - so today's photo is from a sunnier day back in January. Today's Dog of the Day is Jaz's companion - a 7.5-month-old little chap called Tai, who is a relatively new breed called a Silken Windhound. It's a cross between a Borzoi and a whippet, so part of the sight hound family. He loves to run around, and is pretty fast, but is sometimes outrun by a whippet who's a bit older than him, and apparently lets out a little grumble of frustration.

More dog photos can be seen (and bought!) over on my website.

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.
