I've always been a Chocolate Box Dog kinda girl!




While on a recent work trip to Kenhardt, my boyfriend spotted these lovely old tins in the kitchen of the farmhouse they stayed in!

I fondly remember seeing similar ones as a child in my aunt's kitchen. They are the reason why Spaniels are sometimes referred to as 'Chocolate Box Dogs'. I guess at some stage certain cookie and chocolate manufacturers decided they will get a lot more attention by placing a few adorable puppies in front of a backdrop of something resembling the set of The Sound of Music, on the tins of their cookies or chocolates - well, it worked!

Other breeds on the 'Chocolate Box Dog' list?

  • Scottish Terriers
  • Collies 
  • German Shepard
  •  Schnauzer
Licks & Kisses!
