Meet Willy, the Berger Pyrénées (Pyrenean Shepherd Dog) who rides around Menton on a scooter with his owner, Cornelia - a charming German lady who gives French conversation classes in Menton. In this photograph, they were in Gorbio for the Blessing of the Animals.This small sheepdog of the mountains of the Pyrénées is considered the oldest of the French herding dogs. They were used in concert with the large white sheep guardian dogs, the Great Pyrénées (Pyrenean Mountain Dog) of the region. The little dog herded the sheep. The big dog watched over them. The natural abilities of this shaggy shepherd are legend - flocks being entrusted to the two different dogs without a human handler. They were officially recognized by the French Kennel Club in 1921.
The breed is also called a Labrit in France. You see many in the south of France.
very cute:) I love places where the weather allows to use scooters like this!
ReplyDeleteI've seen several of these around now I know what they are. They have such sweet faces.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about these dogs, but there is a breeder of Great Pyrenees here. When you drive by, they blend right in with the sheep, but if you pull up and stop, even on the other side of the road, they begin barking at you. I'm sure nothing would get past them.
ReplyDeleteOne of my aunts has one of the great Pyrénées dog - she lived in the Pyrénées as a young newlywed and fell in love with this breed of dogs.
ReplyDeleteGreat dog shot today. I need Cornelia's services. My French class was cancelled!
ReplyDeleteThis must be quite a pleasant site to see these two scooting around town together on this sleek machine. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteWhat every scooter needs a mathcing dog. They are a lovely loyal breed and honies around children.
ReplyDeleteMy apologies to Willy. I thought he was a Westie! I just told my husband, though, that when we move, I need a Vespa with a basket for Kasey and Decker!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments on Decker. When I told the vet what he was doing with the food, the vet said that maybe Decker was getting senile. I said, "Senile? Then all dogs that bury their food are senile." He just looked at me. Maybe I need a new vet.
Anyway, Decker is, as you know, also having a few health problems. However, we have changed him to a halter collar, and he's doing much better.
Ooooo, nice scooter. The doggie is a cutie. Nowadays dogs have a better life. When I visited South Korea and was on a dosmetic plane, I saw a lady carried her dog in a carrier bag but the dog was barking cause it was afraid so the lady took the dog out and put on her lap with safety belt on the dog too...lol. So dogs now travel in cars, scooter and plane too...lol
