SOPHIE & TIA owned by NICHOLAS BUGDEN

My wife Kathy, 4 children and I live in a small village called Seal near Sevenoaks in Kent, England.
Tia was bred by Janet Finlay, and Sophie was a rescue maremma. She suffered an injury to her tongue as a puppy and no-one else seemed prepared to offer her a home. She had also been very badly looked after and was covered in urine when we first got her home - very unusual for a Maremma!
The pictures were taken in our garden early 1999.
We live on 4 acres although we don't do much with it, just a few vegetables, and the dogs get the run of the place.
