If my family had not put a ban on my having another dog once my "old girl" goes I would love one like yours. But the best I can hope for is to semi adopt our grandsons 18 month old Visla. or one of our neighbours has offered me her Border for walks as she is at work all day. Unfortunately I cannot take either with my present old girl as she still exhibit spaniel rage, or spontaneous aggression with other dogs, but nowadays at a more geriatric-like level. Noise, mannerisms but little output !!
