I'm not actually sure what "fou fou" means but Olivier (the head dog trainer) insists that Max is "fou fou". I suspect it means scatty or daft. Don't get me wrong, Max has an excellent temperament but he also has the attention span of a goldfish. When on the lead he is obedient to a point but he is so interested in other dogs and owners that his mind continually wanders and he can be difficult to handle. I'm beginning to think that we should expose him to more dogs and more people so that his Saturday morning outings aren't quite such a novelty.
Editors Note: Foufou means scatterbrain - but I'm the editor. Well so now you know!
About Me
- Alex
- Jan and I moved from England to France in July 2002 and then, in February 2011, after nearly 9 great years in France we have moved to North Yorkshire, England, to be nearer to my ageing mother. The move to France was primarily motivated by the opportunity to, 'have an adventure', after our children had flown the nest. Well now the adventure continues. After six years back in England our delightful Beauceron Max has died and leaves a confused Minnie who has only ever known her beloved companion . She is a Beauceron, a large but very congenial, French breed of sheep dog. By a total coincidence my mother told Jan that North Yorkshire, Ripon, is where I was conceived. Frankly, a bit too much information but it just goes to show that what goes around comes around. This journal reflects the thoughts, likes, dislikes, fantasies and observations of our latest life in Yorkshire, for me, Jan, Minnie and my alter ego Ed.

hello
fou fou doesn't mean daft, but something like "crazy" in a positive sense, it just mean that your dog like to run and play and jump, like dogs do when you come back home, this term implies also that he's maybe a bit hard to control like young dogs.
