Don't be fooled by this look of intelligence, although she has a very nice nature she is not much good as a cattle dog, so she does not earn her keep, but we love her anyway.. she is a good friend of the old gentleman in the background that also does not earn his keep, but he has also been a great companion.. lucky we do have one dog that does do some farm work..
Jill looks as as if she has tons of energy so its good you have her standing still Her old friend may be making his slow way back to you. Lovely dog shot!
