Hiya Lillian  :wave:

I was told by a local farmhand, who thinks our Kunes are too cute to eat by the way, that the local butcher keeps Tamys - will try & find out some more details for you.

Ps. My OH has fallen in love not only with your collies, but also your whiskey sausages now - blame Karen  ;D

I can always keep a puppy till the piggy workshop for you, just let me know. The whisky sausages was a trial run and I am delighted that you like them. Any help requiring the tammys is much appreciated. Robert and I are looking forward to meeting you at the BBQ. ;D ;D

Seriously Lillian, now is not the right time for us to have a collie - no matter how much we love them  :(

As for the sausages - well, my OH says she would have them for every day for the rest of her life & if you would ever give her the recipe she would guard it with her life - "truely amazing from the first bite onwards" - that's saying something coming from her, believe me  ;D

Should be seeing the Tamy bloke or his feed supplier on Friday - will get details for you them.

Did you get my reply on the Breeders forum? Not sure if it's of any help.

Sorry Lillian - no luck  :(

Saw the bloke & apparently he's given up all his pigs (did have around 50 at one point!).  Did ask him if he knew of anyone about with any, all he suggested was the Breeders Club or the RBST.
