He has a host of addoring fans!!

He is now Malka, not so much before being groomed, he does love to wallow in as many muddy puddles he can find when he is out on his walk

heehee Helena. Not great shots of him to be fair. My hubby has some lovely pics of him on his phone. I'll try to get them off him. I'm not a natural photographer by any stretch.

Ivan says a big lazy thank you and send lovely big sloppy kisses to you and the beautiful Zena xxx

Awww how adorable is he? A big (little) tub of fluff in the corner... just makes me wanna HUGGLE him!

I wish I could own a fluffy breed of dog like this... but it gets too warm here and it's just not suitable.

Nigredo, only semi fluffy overheated last year as a reminder of this

Oh no poor thing. How scary and worrying for you.

Yes on very hot days we have to be careful with him but luckily living in ireland we only get about 2 a year

A long haired breed is a nightmare in the kind of weather we are having at the moment. My house constantly stinks of wet dog and my floors are forever dirty but I wouldn't be without him. Small price to pay

IVAN has his own phone?????? Give him my number immediately please!!!! I know what you meant really, but if you read it again, it looks like it's Ivan's phone!!!!

Aww, my favourite breed. I hope to get one in the future, is there a lot of grooming involved?

Can't have been much fun for them last summer, with the great weather we had.

haha it does now that you say it

Yes a huge amount!! Since he's been neutered his coat has become like sheep's wool and is so hard to look after so I have found a place that does a great deal and he gets done every 5/6 weeks. Saves my back!

Oh you're not kidding about last year. He was constantly wet and mucky especially as where we walk has streams and forest most of which he brings home with him!!

They are an amazing breed and he is my dream dog and always will be. We are just getting into vizslas at the moment as they have a bit more get up and go but another Leo is definitely on the cards at some stage in the future

Yes, it was scary... poor little guy nearly fainted

Thankfully the lake was right down the bend, quick splash and he was okay. Back on the leash and back under the trees though.

I know what you mean though... every price seems too small for our loved puppies.

Lovely photos. Ivan is so handsome

Thank you
