Joris

Posted by Illuci (Hurdegaryp, Netherlands) on 21 June 2007 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

At last: a portrait of our male dog Joris, aged 4 years, a genuine Staby (pron. sta-by with the emphasis on "by" (pron. as the English "by" and the "a" as in "what"), one of the 2 Frisian dog breeds. The breed name "staby" means "standby", notice the kinship between Frisian language and English. He is a lovely dog and likes nothing more than getting sticks out of the water. See also his statue.
