Yeah, tjohn, she's beautiful! I've got four dogs, three cats and four cockerels (long story) myself - they're my family, much to the despair of my long-suffering husband! I'm trying to find a home for a one year old spayed black lab/collie cross right now (I'd take her myself but the hubbie has finally drawn the line!) - so if anyone in Ireland is looking for a dog...just let me know! (Also three Jack Russell crossed with whoknowswhat puppies - people keep asking me to find homes for their animals!)
