The Bavarian Mountain Hound

THIS handsome chap is a Bavarian Mountain Hound (Bayerischer Gebirgsschweisshund) which is descended from hunting dogs. They are scent hounds which have been used in Germany since the Middle Ages to trail wounded game. They are a cross between the Bavarian Hound and the Hanover Hound. Bavarian Mountain Hounds weigh between 20 to 25 kg, males are 47 to 52 cm (18.5 - 20.5 in) high, while females are 44 to 48 cm (17-19 in). For lots more information and some wonderful photographs visit the Bavarian Mountain Hound Society.

Rusty The Roamer

A dog snatched from its owner in New South Wales, Australia, in May has turned up in Darwin, 3,000km (1,800 miles) away. Rusty, an eight-year-old poodle/maltese cross, was picked up earlier this week by a Darwin City Council ranger and taken to the local dog pound. A council spokesman said Rusty appeared confused and needed a good wash. Luckily, Rusty had been microchipped and the Darwin pound was astonished to find he was owned by someone living in Woy Woy, on the NSW Central Coast. His owner, Shirley Lowry, had made appeals in her local newspaper for Rusty's return. He had disappeared while she was inside a local newsagency. "I love him to death," Ms Lowry said. "I can't believe I'll see my little fella again. "It just goes to show the value of having your dog micro-chipped so they can come home to their owners."

Designer Dog Bowls

HOW much did your dog bowl cost you? A few dollars or pounds in the supermarket? Now's your chance to own a real designer bowl - that's if you have around $3,000 to spare. For auction house Bonhams and Butterfields are holding a sale of bowls painted by famous artists. The sale, on November 23 at Bonhams in Los Angeles, is in aid of Paws/LA, an organization that assists the disabled and senior citizens in keeping their pets. Each bowl measures 11 inches in diameter and has an estimated value of $2,500 to $3,500, according to Bonhams. Bowls, from top of the page to the bottom, are by: David Hockney, Robert Longo, Kenny Scharf and Ross Bleckner.
