Just thought I'd introduce our 2 woofers...
They are very good 'guard' dogs - e.g. loud and bouncy... and surprisingly good at ratting... we've been taking them out every other night and catching the horrid blighters...
Murphy, our youngest, is also an up-and-coming forager - he steals apples and pears from the trees, raspberries and tomatoes straight from the plant and chicken feed from my shed...
