UK Trip Part V

One thing that always fascinates me, is how the English love their dogs. Come rain or shine, dog owners generally walk their dogs on a regular basis. Being at the TT races on the Isle of Man was no exception. I made a point of trying to photograph as many dogs that I could while walking around the pits and viewing areas. 

Stafford-shire Terriers are a very popular breed of dogs in the UK. This lass looks a little dozy (or bored) by all the comings and goings around him

I'm not sure of this breed - perhaps a Kerry Blue? But it was accompanied by a beautiful pair of legs, I'd say! Oops! I remember now the lady told us this was a Labradoodle: Poodle x Labrador!

And the Dulux Dog was also there; A St Bernard   An Old English Sheepdog is used in the Dulux paint adverts in England and South Africa ( Thanks Arija! )

There was many, many other dogs on the island during that week, but I didn't get to photograph them all. I love dogs and miss my three dogs in South Africa. Regularly seeing the dogs at the TT, helped to ease the longing! 

Thanks to my dear friend Arija from Down Under,  for helping me right with the sheepdog/Border Collie dog ID's!
