Out and about with your dog

You and your dog deserve the best - enjoy getting out and about on daily walks, keeping fit, healthy and happy. Nothing beats it!



Here's Red, a Labrador-Red Setter cross with, we think, a touch of Pointer! Certainly a beautiful dog with heaps of energy.



Welcome to the website.
My name's Hilary, and my husband and I have a Golden Retriever called Georgie, and a black Labrador-cross called Jessie. They feature in the logo at the top of the page. You'll see lots of their pictures scattered throughout the site, as well as many other faces we've met on our morning and evening walks. I rarely leave home without my camera - you never know who you're going to meet!

This site is a celebration of being out and about with your canine companion. You'll find lots of natural images taken in the country and on beaches, our four legged friends happy to be rolling in the grass, drinking from muddy puddles, getting mucky and living a rich life.

Apart from the 'French Collection' all my photos have been taken out and about in the UK. If you live in other parts of the world, we'd love to hear from you and see where your dog has its daily walk.

It is a site dedicated to those of you who brave the weather and enjoy the great outdoors with your pet. For me, it is an essential part of keeping healthy, both mentally and physically, and it is one of the very best times of the day - finding a natural area where you feel comfortable, where the animals are free to run and where you can get close to nature and have some 'time out'.




We have advice on choosing pet-friendly holidays as well as taking your animal abroad. What are the requirements for the pet passport and what should you look out for if you travel to Europe?

You can explore all the different types of canine in the world, whether they be pedigree or cross-breed. There is information on all the major groups and a detailed look at many individual breeds including a special look at the Golden Retriever.



As well as information on the different breeds, we have lots of ideas for names - with inspiration taken from amongst other places the world of jazz, chocolate and breakfast cereals!

We also have shopping sections focussing on books, toys, training aids, travel and grooming products as well as links with eBay where you can explore the various auctions we've set up on this site.

And if you're interested in Webkinz, you might find your perfect toy pet on our
Webkinz page.



So, browse through the pages, enjoy the photos, pick up some tips and above all, keep getting out and about with your dog!
