Lipton


Lipton is a 6 year old Flat-coated retriever. His full name is Chapelvalley Lipton Boy. In 2006 he became both Belgian Beauty Champion and Belgian Working Champion ( both his parents were too ). He is a tireless working dog and an outstanding swimmer. He displays natural abilities for the retrieval of birds and is of excellent assistance during shooting and hunting. His owner runs the hunting division at our dogclub. Lipton is actively employed 40 days per year. Last week, he very enthusiastically jumped off a 3 meter bank into 10 cm of water and badly sprained his wrist. The cast will have to stay on for 2 weeks and he will have to rest. He lives with a family who has two children and a chocolate Labrador. He is a super pet.
Lipton lives outside Brussels.

Sarko


Sarko is a mixed-breed dog. A mutt in other words. A Heinz 57.
He is 7 years old and Lola’s playmate. He was adopted by Lola’s family just over a year ago around the time of the French presidential elections. Hence his name. It’s the third time he is adopted. He is full of beans but I would actually label him as hyperactive. I am convinced he has finally found happiness.
Sarko and Lola live just outside Brussels.

Little Dog


"I have a Yorkie called Little Dog. He has the heart of a lion packed into a 6.5 pound body." says SdC.

Little Dog's reply to this post: "Thanks for posting my photo. Just so you know, I did not eat the turkey, just had a sniff."

Little Dog lives in Montreal.

Schmutzie


JH wrote this about her dog: "I am very happy to send you a photo of Schmutzie, the dog, for your blog. I have often thought that she should be famous since she is so cute! She is about 5 years old and has lived with me for about a year now. She seems to be mostly poodle, but a lot of people think she has some terrier in her as well. She is a really sweet dog and very affectionate, but since she has been bounced around from place to place for her entire life, she can be a bit timid. I think the funniest thing about her (aside from the fact that she snores and sighs a lot) is that she is not at all motivated by food - I could leave a chunk of raw beef on the table, leave the house and she would never touch it - the only food she gets excited about is romaine lettuce! "

Schmutzie lives in Montreal.

Turbo


My good friend BB has this to say about his dog:
"Ik stuur je hierbij een foto van 'Bo' , de liefste hond van Vlaanderen en omstreken. Turbo is een jongetje en nu 5 jaar oud en (!) is een echte schat. Zelfs als je hem een schop zou geven (maar dat doe je natuurlijk niet) zal hij je nog een likje geven. Grommen en bijten komen in zijn hondenlatijn niet voor. Het is voor zijn baasjes en zijn lieve zus de poes 'Mademoiselle Manou' (cfr. Sheeba') (love is in the air) een waar godsgeschenk hem in huis te mogen hebben."
Turbo lives near Gent.

Lola

The little one looking up to its Mummy is Lola.
I first met her at the dog club when she was still a puppy. She had her introductory class with me and subsequent more advanced classes. She is in one of the top obedience classes now and also follows the hunting class with the other retrievers. She is 2 years old now, sweet tempered and pretty.
NG, Lola's owner, has this to say:
"Ma Lola est arrivée dans ma vie comme un signe du destin pour m'accompagner dans des moments difficiles mais surtout pour me faire rencontrer des gens qui ont pris beaucoup d'importance pour nous."
Lola lives just outside Brussels.
