My little Princess Maya arrived last night! She was so tired after her journey she slept well. Here's a couple of pictures from this morning.

She's a one year old Berger Blanc Suisse. She's a lovely gentle calm girl. She's also very playful, and very fast.
I can join in again with the dog threads!!! Yay! 🙂
She's a beauty. 🙂
What's all that white stuff on the ground?
Awesome you lucky sod - what I'd do to be allowed a dog!
She nice! Lovely looking hound!
What a beauty...never heard of the breed before 8)
what are they traditionally bref for?
what a beaut! Dogs are great, just wish I lived nearer some fields so I could let mine run free as nature intended
Here's mine in the snow last year

CUTE!
she's a good lookin dog , glad your back in the STW dog club 😀
@freeridenick - Lots of info' on them here.... [url= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berger_Blanc_Suisse ]Berger Blanc Suisse[/url]
I'd never heard of them until a few months ago. Then I met one, really liked it, and decided to find out more.
Basically they are a white German Shepherd dog, and they were used so that the farmers could distinguish them from wolves. They share all the best traits of a German Shepherd dog.
@yoshimi - Why can't you have a dog?
@dogbert - Great dog. Snappy dresser too! 🙂
Beautiful bitch, really stunning. Swiss White Mountain.
Do you know much about the temperament ? I am genuinely curious. Reason I ask is the Swiss Germans from Graubunden region have a tendency to own very lovely looking dogs which are rather grumpy shall we say. I spend quite a lot of time there and I've had to break my habit, as a dog owner, of greating other dogs/owners as I'm often snapped at.
@jambalaya - I've only met two of them, and they've both been superb. Friendly, playful.
Aaawww! 😀
Always wondering about that breed of dog, there's a couple that live near us and I've always wondered what they were!
I thoroughly approve of this post. Good work fella.
Red trousers too! Good work sir.
And that's a lovely dog too.
Nice one.
Here's our's in last year's snow:

That's a beautiful dog! A new breed to me too!
Will she be a trail dog?
We picked up our first dog last weekend - a stunning 2 year-old German Shorthaired Pointer bitch called Misty. Since she moved in, all she's known is snow, so I reckon she thinks she's moved to the Arctic or something!
very cool. shepard dogs are my fave.
TBH German Shepherds aren't my favourite, but your new hound scores big points for a having a face that looks a bit like a retriever's in the first pic. 😀
good to see you've got back in, and i'm sure you'll give her a good home.
best of luck.
she is a stunner mate. i love dogs.

Thanks. You have a winner then. You [i][b]are[/b][/i] going to get stopped by just about everyone when you are out walking complimenting you on her.
Missed this when it was posted but just searched for it when I remembered you were going to post pics. She's gorgeous! Have fun!
Very handsome dog. Have fun.
Very nice hound, careful you don't lose her in all that snow now!
(And look at your flipping red torusers!)
What happened to the bear dog?
I like! 🙂
Thanks very much everyone. Princess Maya is doing well. She really is a lovely girl, and very smart too. I'm just amazed at how well she has settled in in three days.
@geoffi - The bear dog, the mighty Rex is sadly no longer with us. He developed a heart problem in November. Full story [url= http://www.stratobiker.com/?p=962 ]here[/url]. Don't read it if you cry easily. That big old boy left a hole that was impossible to fill.

Sorry to hear that SB. New one looks a beauty though!
SB - she is beautiful! What stunning dog.
Really pleased for you. Although you must still really miss Rex, we all have space in our hearts for another dog.
Have loads of fun with her 🙂
Loverly 🙂
She reminds me of a cross labrador/alsatian I had.
She's lovely, never heard of the breed either will look them up.

Wow! Always interesting to hear of an unusual breed and she looks gorgeous! Will she always look so clean though?
Enjoy your new companion stratobiker. 🙂
