griff's pet dog

[gregk9]

Sorry to sound ignorant, but can anyone please tell me the breed of the dog Griff has with him in the new "river" series.
he's such a calm mannered laid back dog, you simply have to fall in love with.
many thanks in advance.

Hi Greg

He's a Chocolate Labrador (named Cadbury,appropriately enough!),and they do indeed make great pets/companions for a family.

My friend has one and says she would never have another breed now

If you do a search online,there are loads of Choc Lab sites.

I remember the dog has been referred to as chocolate Labrador in several reviews.
There's photo in the Wikipedia article:

I've noticed Cadbury seems to be the real star of this series; maybe he'll get the next contract with the BBC. I wonder if they'd ask him to bring Griff along. ;D

ETA: Oh, I came in second. Could be worse.

He certainly is stealing the lime light on the show He is a lovely dog. If I remember rightly Griff's children named him Cadbury. I think that is a brilliant choice.

I wonder why Cadbury took part in the Rivers series but not Three Men in a Boat (Some other dog played the role of Montmorency in 3MIAB). Cadbury certainly seems a very sensible and well-behaved dog. x

He's lovely! I don't know why they didn't use him for the first three men - perhaps the production company (it's not made by Griff's own company, unlike Rivers) had the idea! I think they should take him with them in future!

I think so too Polina. :-)
