About Me

I am a "Basset Fauve de Bretagne" (I know,difficult to say at first!)and my birthday is April 1st 2009. My new parents collected me on June 7th from Wiltshire and I came to live in Horsforth,Leeds.I hope you check in often to see my photos, and read all about my adventures/misadventures!(My little brother,Henri, joined the pack in March 2012)

Sorry it's been so long!


Hi friends! Sorry it's been a while since I used the "com-poo-ter" but it had to be repaired last week. Now it's back,I'm allowed to be the first one to use it -hurray! This is my mum's fauve-rite picture of me at the moment - it's my "I wouldn't DREAM of snatching the socks from the washing pile ( thanks Liz, for telling my mum I did such things!) OR try to chew the bottoms of peoples jeans" face! I really couldn't help myself, you know. Mind you,when mum sprayed "chew repellent" on everyones jeans,it tasted so bad that I went back to my toys. Only a few more sleeps now until I can meet up with Tinky, my half-sister-Yeah! My second visit to the vet's went well.I didn't even cry or make a fuss when I had the vaccine thing.I felt a BIT scared while we were waiting,but once I was up on the table I even rolled on my back so the vet could check me over- AND tickle my tummy, of course!

My mum laughed when she heard that Tinky has a "wild hour" every evening....ha ha ha! Me too! This girl sounds SO like me it's untrue! I just can't wait for the "so-shall-I-say- tion" to begin!

My First Playdate!

Guess what? I've got my first playdate! Can you believe it..... and it's with a girl Fauve! She's called Tinky, and her breeder (Karen Higgins) helped our mums get in touch. Karen has 'Moss' our dad, so were related too - can't wait to meet Tinky in a few weeks, when I get the all clear from my vet!

Saturday 13 June 2009


Well, I've been with my new 'forever' family for a week. My journey started last Sunday from Wiltshire. I overheard my family saying how glad they were that I'd slept for three hours, having been sick when we first set off (I only did that because it was SO hard saying good-bye to my sister, brother and first lovely, kind, human parents) When we got back to Leeds,I suddenly felt okay, and loved meeting the rest of my new, human pack. They all decided I was handsome and cute (Well, I kind of knew that, because Liz and Bruce told me every day!) It's been a great week, with loads of explorations, digging and cuddles. I'll sign in again next week, and tell you what I've been up to.
