Very nice.

I agree with your observations, limey. Picking a plan that is opposite your habits is like scaling a mountain by running directly at the summit. The chances for success are much better with an oblique approach, like the switchbacks that crisscross the mountainside. Not as steep, but you get a little flat spot every so often to catch your breath. And if you stumble and fall, you won't wind up at the bottom of the hill, beat to crap, bloody and defeated. You'll just stop where you land, and be able to stand up, dust yourself off, and keep on climbing.

Surprisingly, I found the honest answer to this question, most of the time, is no.

UT is right. Hear that, UT?

UT IS RIGHT!

(WOW! Did anyone just notice that pigs have sprouted wings and begun to fly?)

Anyhow, my first Cardigan (Merlin) was a wonderful dog in every single way except that he was a "Whitely," meaning that unlike the Blue Merle jumping thru the tire in the pic above, one side of his face was all white - immedient disqualification from show ring or breeding. Not a single other thing wrong with him. Picked him up for $300 instead of the standard $1,000.00 that the breeder usually charged. Merlin ended up saving my Mom's life. Pretty good bargain for 300 bucks!
