The rare Lesser-Spotted Bichon.

Again - two posts on one day (I've edited to add this information because no-one has noticed the Skylarks - below!)

It's a good job that Benji isn't a show dog!  Recently he started to lick at an area of fur for no particular reason and gradually that area turned brown because his saliva had stained it.  (This happens regularly when he cleans his paws after a walk, or salivates while eating food). So now my little white Bichon Frise has a very noticeable brown spot on his side. 

Even after several shampoos and two haircuts the mark is still visible.  

Oh, the questions I get asked.
