What dogs does Monty Don have?
Monty Don has two pets with his wife Sarah, Nell, a golden retriever and a Yorkshire Terrier Patti.
He often shows pictures of his dogs on his social media, as they accompany him while he does some gardening work around his home.
He had another golden retriever named Nigel, who used to make several appearances on Gardeners’ World.
However, sadly Nigel passed away in 2020.
On October 7, 2022, Monty Don announced that a new pup will be making its first appearance on the show, to take Nigel’s place.
Monty joked: “I haven’t told Nellie or Pattie yet.

“So it remains to be seen whether the three dogs will be best buds!
“Ned makes his world premiere tonight on BBC Two at 8pm on Gardeners’ World.
“I am told there might be a little gardening, too.”
Monty Don also spoke about how Ned was chosen when Nigel passed away.
He said: “On a day when we are sharing a deep sense of sadness and loss, I went to choose the new bright innocent and irresistibly charming member of our family, replacing Nigel.
“He will be joining us next week.”
Ned made his first appearance on the Friday night episode of Gardeners’ World on October 7, and he has surely stolen the viewers’ hearts.
Many took on to social media to say how cute he is and that they cannot wait to see more of him on the show.
Something that I take for granted is that, by and large, they do absolutely no damage and respect the garden completely. They (rarely) dig holes or crash through the flower beds. They do treat the long paths as bowling alleys down which they career in chase of the ball that we are obliged to throw, but it is harmless enough.
Longmeadow, Montys own garden in Herefordshire, has a new green-fingered family member called Ned. The puppy follows in the tradition of Monty and his wife Sarahs fondness of Golden Retrievers, as well as names beginning with the letter N.
“On a day when we are sharing a deep sense of sadness and loss, I went to choose the new bright innocent and irresistibly charming member of our family, replacing Nigel. He will be joining us next week. I havent told Nellie or Patti yet…”
Ned was also later seen revelling in the limelight and digging holes, albeit mostly in the wrong place.
Since then, the pup has featured heavily across all of Montys social media pages. The next picture of Ned was him being shown the garden, where the TV programme has been filmed since 2011. Held in Montys arms, the adorable picture was captioned: “Collected Ned today – showing him the garden”. This content is imported from Instagram.

Herefordshire TV gardener Monty Don has delighted fans by sharing more pictures of his adorable brood of dogs on social media.
The new arrival joined his two other dogs, Nellie, who is also a golden retriever, and Patti, a Yorkshire terrier.
The dogs often appear on screen with him as he presents his Gardeners World programme on BBC Two on Friday evenings.
Monty captions the photo saying “Warm, comfy and only slightly grumpy – Nell makes a good bed.”
Another picture shows the new addition making himself at home and relaxing in his dog basket.
