    I grow several types of Blue Himalayan Poppies but I think Poppy even surpasses them. Wonderful guard dog as well.

    You'll have Rosa sketching her the instant she sees her - what a gorgeous dog! She has lovely eyes, and her colour - beautiful!

    They are lovely Rosa. Beautiful and you are so quick. we do especially like the puppy one.
    She is a cutie but she can put on her guard dog look. I think this is her 'watching for cats' look. Don't know why but she absolutely hates them. When she was a pup I took her to my Mum's with our old lab ( who sadly died in February)Duke, the lab, went to greet the cat and I thought she would learn that cats were OK but she just screamed at it.

    Now if you were a burglar would you take on this dog?
