The St Bernard pup is the biggest ball of fluff I have ever seen

14 weeks old and It's already 3 times the size of our Barney, and probably weighs about 20 kilo's

Great dogs, mental as anything, like Irish Setters with attitude

When we lived in Bournemouth back in the late 70s we had friends that bred them. Gary had a Capri at the time and one of the dogs would sit in the passenger seat. From behind people thought he had a blonde in the car with him. We had many funny incidents with them, one was "Afghan Racing" it is like greyhound racing but with a total lack of direction or discipline, they were all over the shop. Some couldn't be bothered, some went off in the opposite direction or to make new friends, one watched the "hare" going around then went diagonally across the track to intercept it and rip it off the wire. Fifteen or so minutes later racing resumed.
One day when taking five of them for a walk in the forest I got dragged along on my ar53 by the two youngest dogs who thought, or maybe they had, saw something and took off. Until then I'd always thought they were showy dogs of no substance but believe me there is power underneath.
The eldest of the tribe, the granny, could be let off the lead because she couldn't run far. However, she got into a Morris 1000 because the picnicking couple had left the rear doors open and refused to move until she'd been for a ride up the road and back.
We had one for a couple of weeks, from another friend in Reading, totally neurotic, hated cars, spooked in the flat we lived in but there again he wasn't the only one

and in the end went back to Reading.

It is a breed you see very little of these days although I have seen two in the past year. Perhaps the name Afghan puts people of

Thanks for posting that picture, you've brought back a lot of memories not least of our wedding as Gary was our photographer!

This one is called either Lemonheart or Barbie Amelia depending on who you ask

This one is called Patricia, apparently after my mother

Barney has been sniffing around but now he is sitting on Sophie's knee while she cradles a rabbit and no fur is flying yet!
