Hehe, you're welcome! Love a bargain. Can't wait to see puppy pics Airedaler! Are you getting another Airedale?

Are there certain types of grasses that are worse and should be avoided? Is it only dry grass that is a concern? Thanks all.

Congratulations!! Very cute!

Just the top of a birdbath maybe?

Great pic of Em TSD!!!

LisaCC I am the opposite to you - LOVE the Flat Coats but not so much the Labs or GR :)

Love the English Cocker, totally not a fan of the American Cocker...

OMG that is disgusting. Should never be allowed near animals or his practice again.

Also available at Masters ATM and if you use the disc code PETROL10 (until 9th Nov I think) at online checkout you get 10% off, so total of $87.30 and you can click and collect.

Thank you. To tell the truth I am not too concerned about boisterous puppies knocking over the kids. The kids will pick themselves up again no problems, and they will be used to each other pretty soon. I intend on doing a lot of obedience with whichever breed we end up choosing, which will hopefully curb any undesirable behaviour before it gets out of hand? I agree that it will be a case of teaching the dog and kids together about the rules :) , but I am confident we can do it. I didn't have 4 kids under 5 years of age without a lot of rules :D

I think I will just wait until the next show and see... Maybe an ESS? I do like the FCR's though... xxx

Thank you Purdie :) will do!

Thank you showdog, I really love the honest answers, it does make our decision easier. I think if we are honest the Collie will just be too much at this point in our lives, on our wish list for down the track definitely...

Thank you SG :) Hubby needs a bit of convincing about the Collie coat, but we will make sure we meet them all before we decide. I'm waiting for some replies to emails I have sent to Breeders so will go from there when I hear back. Starting to get excited again, even if it takes another 6 months that's ok. We're getting close :) finally, hopefully...
