This family of three dogs and four Maine Coon cats, nicknamed the ‘fabulous furries’ by courier S, arrived at their new French home in Brittany yesterday.
Their journey started in Mooncoin, in Ireland, where Animalcouriers collected them 10 days ago. They stopped over at Burntwood Kennels in Surrey, before undertaking the second leg of their trip to France.
Their owners took the 24-hour ferry from Dublin to France in very rough seas, poor things. Meanwhile, their pets took the shorter (and calmer) crossing from Dover to Calais and travelled on to Brittany by road.
Daisy, a beautiful Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, snored her way through the journey, completely at ease on her big adventure
In maternal mode, lovely Newfoundland Bella made sure the rest of the family were all settled and happy before allowing herself to completely relax
Le Roi and Mr Jinks giving courier S a rather dark brown look!
All four cats are breathtakingly beautiful
Even the customs officers at the border were struck by their exceptional looks
Reunion in France for two big girls and their dad
The Newfoundland is a magnificent breed — here’s Porscha who, like Bella, weighs in at over 80 kilos. Porscha is both a live wire and gentle and obedient as a lamb — and clearly delighted to be reunited with her dad
Beautiful animals all of them 🙂 and so happy they had a nice trip..even if their peeps didn’t 😉 loves Bev xx
wow they come to my area? how great is that? now we have 4 beautiful cats and 3 fabulous dogs more in Brittany, well done :o)
Have to send these newfie photos to my daughter-in-law, she is a lover of this breed.
Are the Newfoundland and St. Bernard breeds closely related? They resemble each other so closely, I thought Porscha was a St. Bernard when I first saw her.
Love the cat photos, now i know what the brown look is!
Newfies are such awesome dogs. Hubby wouldn’t let me have something that large. Darn.
Beautiful and gentle giants. But the cats are stars of this post. They are too beautiful. The owner likes long haired pets and they all are magnificient specimens
I wish my ear hair looked as spectacular as the cats. 🙂 Daisy looked like a cuddle. –Curt
Magnificent cats! Their ears remind me of the Lynx with those tufts at the end!
The cats are indeed beautiful.
We had a Newfie for a neighbor for awhile. This one was not so obedient and that’s a lot of dog to try to keep controlled.
They are all beautiful. I’m off to learn that dark brown look…Pawkisses for a Happy Weekend 🙂 <3
You’ll never master that Little Binky – far too sweet 😀
Le Roi looks a bit like my Amber but MUCH smaller. What a regal pair! I’ve always wanted a Maine Coon but it looks like the dogs have won the day. New puppy Link will be home with us in less than a month!
How exciting! Do post lots of pictures… You never know, space for a pussy cat may be possible…
The cat in the third pic can be described only as leonine. Exquisite!
Beautiful photos of the kitties.
They’re all gorgeous!
The cats just have to be Maine Coons! I like these people, big dogs and fabulous cats 🙂
What a big beautiful family they have!! How lucky for all those furry babies that they travelled with you guys and got to skip that long and rough sea journey. I hope that everyone settles in well in France 🙂
Porcha looks just like my buddy Sebastian 🙂
I just love Newfoundlands
What a gorgeous family!

Luv Purrince Siddhartha an LadyMum (wake up LadyMum)
They are beautiful! Those Maine Coons are breathtaking! Very regal in their stance as if they know they are extraordinary! The hair production around the house must be natural wonder!
