OT - My dog
I went to Provence yesterday morning and got back this p.m. I went to
look a a Cane Corso, one of two sisters. When I arrived Michael opened the electric gates and we drove in. The car was surrounded by dogs, including a gorgeous Alsatian. The mastiffs hurled themselves onto me, I didn't know if they were going to bite the face off me or lick me to death. One beautiful one, not the one I went to see, wouldn't leave me and tried to climb on my lap in the house, she is big so she couldn't! I had gone to see the brindle Cane Corso and I ended up falling in love with her sister who is a beautiful taupe velvet colour. I said before we went to bed that I thought thebrindle was lovely but she and I didn't gel, I don't know why, I said I wanted Carlotta, the taupe one. So, when I get back from Mauritus, we drive to Provence and pick up Carlotta (she's Italian but speaks French and English :-) ). My husband also thought she was delightful and is happy for her to become ours. Now I just have to talk him into having the Alsatian as well!!! Judith |

The hotel is set in about 20 acres of park land. It has several football fields used by the Italian national team and visiting national teams for training and a lot of tennis courts, not to mention hordes of skimpily clad groupies when the team was there. Sounds delightful. Shall we meet you there? ;-(( -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon Perennials & shrubs online |

, Judith in France writes I went to look a a Cane Corso, Blimey!! They can be a bit 'off' with strangers Judith and they can be prone to what is termed 'separation anxiety' in that when you go away they miss you so much that they can stop eating, pine, howl, or do any number of weird things. They are very placid generally though I'm not sure what they are like with other dogs if you intend to walk her. Might give those French poodles a bit of a turn. -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |

This is the dog we both want and bearing in mind our circumstances, location land etc., she will be in her element. I took her for a walk in town with traffic, other dogs, people, she was a darling and very obedient. She is about a year old, I pick her up when I return from holiday at the end of March. Have you still got Dalmatians Janet, they are lovely dogs. Judith |
