Tank you for you lovely words. Yes, Tiff is my "Tiffany" She is 33inches tall from her head to her front feet, I am not sure how to swap kilo's to pounds...she is 23kilos and 16months old, so a lot more growing I suppose. I have never had a labrador, but over 20 years ago I had an alsmost black ( black and tan) Shepherd and a silver sable shepherd. I owned a Bedlington for a while - they are magic dogs - but she died from a disease called 'BedlingtonTerrier Liver Storage Desase' and died in mydaughters and my arms, and it was not nice, as they vomit blood also blood oozes from their nose and ears. Terrible!
