Back in May I lost my old sheepdog Minty. She was 15 and had been blind for about 4 years but was still keen and worked right up to the day she died. I've just agreed to take on another old working dog. Meet Noss. He's 11 and ready to retire from a 3000 hectare sheep station to a cushy job on a small flat farm with lazy sheep. I'll be picking him up in early October. I'm excited about having a dog again, and also working with a dog that can actually see.
