<p><span>Matisse, a one-and-a-half-year-old Afghan Hound, is the epitome of grace and refinement. Silent and stoic, he carries himself with elegance in the upscale spots of Saint Barth. His silky coat and poise evoke the spirit of the 1970s, with a stride that calls to mind the vibe of Stayin&rsquo; Alive. This stubborn dandy only responds to gentle commands and prefers to observe in silence rather than bark. Despite his impressive 25 kg stature, he maintains a rare elegance. A chic rebel, he loves to play but is not one for swimming</span><span>&mdash;</span><span>likely to preserve his coat&rsquo;s radiance. Matisse is a companion who blends chic and charm with a distinct personality. </span></p>

<p><span>Eighteen years ago, a feathery newcomer arrived in St Barth from Nantes: Aldo the parrot, named after Aldo Maccione for his sassy strut! Always attached to his little toy, he loves spreading his wings to shine and sneaking bites from plates. His great love is Mosley, or Momo, a big, sturdy island-born pup with a mix of pony and calf looks, part of a litter of eleven puppies. Momo has simple needs: pulling his humans around, sprawling across the couch, and, like Aldo, nibbling on snacks. But make no mistake</span><span>&mdash;</span><span>Aldo is the real boss here! </span></p>

<p><span>It&rsquo;s true she&rsquo;s a very shy girl. But Simba the pomeranian is a lover at heart. Her morning has to start with kissing everyone. She&rsquo;s super curious. She loves riding on the scooter and looking around, which is funny because she&rsquo;s scared of everything. Even the rain is scary to Simba. Thankfully, she hasn&rsquo;t seen snow yet. She loves to jump in the water after boats even though she hates swimming and water. Put a piece of ham in front of her and you have her love forever. </span></p>

<p><span>Hercule the Dachshund to most, but his parents also call him Cucule, Bibi, or His Majesty. 7 years old, he has been living on St Barth for 5 years now. Always super friendly and ready for new adventures, whether going out with his parents or making new friends, cuddles and kisses are his thing. He could play fetch for hours. He&rsquo;s also the pack leader</span><span>&mdash;</span><span>a Doberman in his head</span><span>&mdash;</span><span>so he always walks with pride. But mornings are a different story: he has to be woken up for walks, and if his toys are stuck under the couch, beware of the grumbling! He&rsquo;s no fan of cats (and they&rsquo;re everywhere in St Barth). Being a bit long, he spend a lot of time reversing. And his dislike of water can be awkward on an island at the best of times, but going out in the rain is absolutely out of the question. </span></p>

<p><span>Levi leads a life many of us could only dream of. Rescued from the streets of Los Angeles, this charming little dog won the heart of his mom Caroline</span><span>&mdash;</span><span>and everyone else he meets. With his big eyes and irresistibly sad look, he knows just how to get what he wants: a belly rub or a cozy spot on the couch. From the sands of St Barth to the snowy peaks of the Austrian Alps, this little globetrotter goes wherever the action is. But nothing has captured his heart quite like St Barth, where he loves basking in the sun and enjoying life like a little king. Though Levi is a bit shy and reserved, it doesn&rsquo;t take long for him to hop into your lap and win you over with cuddles. A master at melting hearts, he&rsquo;ll soon have you wishing you could be as adorable as he is. </span></p>

<p><span>The daughter of a restaurant director, this feisty little dachshund shows exemplary behavior with other dogs and loves their company. Extremely sociable, she never barks and stays calm in any situation. With her bold style, she even enjoys riding a scooter! However, her independent, unaffectionate nature can sometimes be frustrating: &ldquo;She never listens to me</span><span>&mdash;</span><span>I must be too lenient,&rdquo; says her owner, Manu. At the restaurant, she&rsquo;s quick to beg at every table. One thing&rsquo;s certain</span><span>&mdash;</span><span>she&rsquo;s no vegan: she has a carnivore&rsquo;s appetite, which always brings a smile. </span></p>

<p><span>Daisy is a year-and-a-half-old dachshund who weighs 3.3 kg. She&rsquo;s a bundle of love! She loves playing with her koala toy and scaring the neighborhood chickens, just to show them who&rsquo;s boss. She&rsquo;s also a true athlete, especially when she hears the magic word &ldquo;treat.&rdquo; She takes up the whole bed and often steals her dad&rsquo;s blanket, which makes him grumble. Food is life for Daisy; she love sneaking under the table and asking for scraps. She also loves playing with her friend Vegas, and when they&rsquo;re together they don&rsquo;t listen to anyone! Her flaws? None. She&rsquo;s the perfect dachshund</span><span>&mdash;</span><span>except maybe when she steal her parents&rsquo; socks. </span></p>

<p><span>Oslo is a Husky crossed with a Czechoslovakian Wolfdog&mdash; but you can just call him handsome. He&rsquo;s 6 and a half, and he&rsquo;s been living in St Barth, his mom&rsquo;s home island, for 5 years now. Before finding his forever family, he bounced from home to home until he was 11 months old because he needed &ldquo;too much attention.&rdquo; Luckily, he found his people! Curious, stubborn, and a bit of a troublemaker, he has even learned to swim despite his fear of water&mdash;especially when it involves muddy puddles! Don&rsquo;t worry about his thick fur; he thrives in the heat and loves soaking up the sun. His life here with his cousin Mosley is simply the best! </span></p>

<p><span>Toby is a playful, intelligent miniature Australian Shepherd with strong protective instincts. This little dog loves adventure and quickly picks up commands, always eager to please. His herding instinct is fully intact: he has the endearing habit of gathering people around him, as if they were his own flock of sheep! Very attached to his family, Toby never strays far. As for solitude? Not his thing! He much prefers being surrounded, ready to participate in any activity, keeping a close eye on every member of his human flock. </span></p>

<p><span>Abandoned on St Martin after being hit by a car, Onyx arrived in St Barth thin but determined to live life to the fullest! Today, five years later, he&rsquo;s calm, cool, and passionate about two things: food and lizard hunting &ndash; tricky yet entertaining opponents. Mostly a homebody, he loves peace and quiet, but when out on a walk he&rsquo;s happy to make friends. As for his house in Saline, it&rsquo;s his kingdom. Intruders? A loud bark reminds them that at Onyx&rsquo;s place, security is serious business! </span></p>

<p><span>Yuki was rescued from a miserable life in Saint Martin, where he was quite literally at bay, tied to a boat. Now a much happier dog, on St Barth he spends his mornings exploring SBH gardens and his afternoons napping! Super friendly, he loves everyone and is full of energy. As a bonus, Yuki shares some quirky talents with his human, Cédric: snoring, sighing, and even burping like a pro! Thanks to Cédric, who gave him a second lease of life, Yuki is now a good time dog: naps, wild runs, and endless cheers &ndash; he makes sure everyone knows he&rsquo;s around. </span></p>
