Can You Pick Out the Picardies?

Although Cabana continues to enjoy just about every dog she meets, she does have her favorites.

During the morning hours, the soccer and baseball fields in our neighborhood are designated for off-leash dogs. We've fallen into a routine of going there this summer, because it's a nice 3-4 mile walk round trip and because the doggies there are SUCH a nice bunch.

Among them are four Blue Picardy Spaniels, a breed that comes from France and (I think) has recently been recognized by the AKC. Three of these Blue Picardies belongs to the breeder who comes regularly to these fields, and the fourth is from one of the breeder's recent litters.

These dogs match Cabana in temperament--they have sweet dispositions and love to run and chase. They give Cabana a great workout! Ha ha, you can tell in the photos that Cabana is tuckered her out while the Picardies are still going strong.
