She lifts one frontleg and her tail when she sniffes a good one Alan ;D

I can't decide if she will make more money as a truffle finding dog or snowdrop finding dog....   ;D

 Why limit her? - she may do both at the relevant time of year.....these little dogs are VERY smart!

I tried it with both, truffle finding and snowdrop finding, but the only thing they find are wild goats ( and those I find normally even with a cold   :P ;))

Very nice Paddy - are these earlier than usual with you?

Chris, these seem to be at about the same time as last year. I had thought 'Ding Dong' was earlier that previous years but looked back on last year's photographs and found I had them fully open on the 1st of January 2012.
