How much is that doggy in the window

Feel free to talk about anything that you want.

We use three pointers to point Partridge around the Kouris valley. Two of them will not retrieve but a friend has a lab that is very good at retrieve. I don't hunt hares but the guy with the expensive dog did buy it for that purpose.

For €7500 I'd want the bloody thing to bring me back a car, not a hare.

Rephrase that, what happens to the dog when hunting season ends?

The cleverest dog I ever saw was owned by a 'Blacksmith' on a farm in Scotland.

So well trained was the dog that he was actually capable of assisting his master in completing certain small articles.

I first heard of the dog's ability when I visited a friend in a nearby village and resolved to visit the farm.

What I saw was the most amazing feat (performed by a dog) I have ever observed, I will remember it all my life.

I daresay THAT dog would be well worth £10,000, so unbelievably clever was he at what he did, coupled with the speed in which he did it.

I just cannot to this day believe what I saw him do, absolutely fantastic. (IMHO)

Sorry, forgot to mention the breed, just an ordinary scruffy mongrel, quite extraordinary. :shock:

I thought he was a blacksmith not a journalist! :?
