          Yes home grown, I used to grow them but after giving them away, and then people gouging out the innards , throwing it away and carving a face in them it all seemed a bit pointless.

          I grew a 12 stone one one year.:smile:
          It ended up being dumped on 1 November.:frown:

                  What a beautiful girl @pete :wub2:

                  To me, they are what you call a "proper dog". Man's best friend. Id love one from working stock in the future.

                    Zoe came from Carmarthen, I think she was probably bred on a farm and surplus to requirements, she could be a bit crazy about things at times and took a long time to settle.

                    Her predecessor, cassie, came from a farm but they just kept dogs as pets, she was very laid back, always ready for a game, but less hypersensitive.
                    She was longer coated and floppy ears, similar in appearance to Mikes apart from the coulouring.

                        I can imagine Cassie was much easier to take places and be around people. My Bea sounds like Zoe...hypersensitive to everything... her ears are constantly moving like radars and she can be a bit "reactive" to certain things, and other times she is petrified (hoover), anyone approaching her when out etc. she is just very highly strung.
                        How is Zoe with strangers coming to the house?

                          We all have our own favourite breed:)
                          To me this is a proper breed:heehee:

                            No proper breeds at all ...we may have our own personal favourites but that's not the same thing.
