Sunday Dog Walk On Sheepcote Valley in Brighton

Summer is here – well for today at least!

Today was one of those perfect days – and I’m sure the dogs agreed too. Though to be honest they seem happy in pouring rain, wild winds, heavy snow – basically they just love being ‘out and about’.

The blackberries are in season – earlier than usual due to this year’s very hot spring – and the dogs learnt long ago that free food is abundant in the bushes.

We had Millie walking with us today, the darker of the two Golden Retrievers – and she was also helping herself to the berries – as well as losing herself in the patch of dandelions in what we call ‘The Paddock’.

Sheepcote Valley is the walk next to Brighton Racecourse and it really is a very special area: beautiful wild flowers, amazing sea views, the freshest of air, and lots of dog-friendly people.

Sheepcote Valley Doggy Photo Shoot

Yesterday morning we had the pleasure of hooking up with Rhian from Brighton Dog Photography and her beautiful Pug, Boo.

I introduced them to Sheepcote Valley, one of my favourite Brighton Dog Walks – such a treat to be able to let the dogs run free and not be worried by traffic etc. On top of that there are amazing views of the sea towards Rottingdean and Ovingdean. So good for the soul!

As you can see from the photos on this page, Rhian is a top class photographer, knowing instinctively how to get the best out of the animals.

She loves taking photographs of dogs ‘where they like to be’ – out and about on their walks. A truly earthy photographer, Rhian’s not afraid to lie down in the wet grass for the right shot. And I think you’ll agree, Georgie and Jessie have never looked so good :-)

If you’d like her to accompany you on a dog walk and photograph your dogs, visit her inspiring site and find out what she offers. I promise you won’t be disappointed!
