He was not mine, but he is surely the ancestor of all my dogs


Dogs are lovely creatures and all-understanding companions. There were many other dogs than the ones listed here, but time has left no pictures of them. I am accompanied by dogs since my childhood. My first dog was a wire hair fox terrier with a black heart on his left side. As this was in plain WW2, there are no pictures left. I shall place here a symbolic picture, the name was Rowdy.







Rowdy, in memoriam, where are you?

October 2025:
Time goes by so fast!
Lea died, Viriato died, too, and we waited till this date to be able to search for a new dog.
We found Elisabeth, called "Beti", a pure bred Jack Russel Terrier, named after the English Queen because of her origins.


What's on?
