Not all our new arrivals are woolly. This little chap was born a couple of weeks ago and apparently is set to become the next hunting dog extraordinaire.

As an Ariegeois bloodhound, the onerous and delicate task of accompanying the various hunters on the farm rests squarely upon his shoulders.

I don’t think he has quite yet understood the burdern of his responsabilities, but I suppose he has until the Autumn to get used to the idea…

and maybe by then, he’ll manage to keep those eyes open.
