Phil Lloyd 10,738 Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 You are right, to move forward with your plans Jigsaw. There will always be more money to earn, so give it your best, you can do no more. The fawn bitch is a pure Kelpie,..she is a good worker on her sheep and I did have a mind to use her, as a Dam to create lurchers. Unfortunately,. the cruel hand of fate has decreed otherwise. My dear wife is ill. She must now be, my first priority. Anyway,..all the best of luck with your own exciting project,..regards, Phil. 8 1 Quote Link to post
