Interesting video - over here though, a hoover is a vacuum cleaner, so I was kind of expecting a housework video, haha!

Yes, I wondered why a vacuum cleaner was worth that kind of money. Now I'm afraid I'm wondering the same about a dog.

Edit, it is a good sheepdog but........

A gold one, no less, so it doesn't clash with the wallpaper.

Yes, I rather expected this was some vintage Hoover that had belonged to someone famous maybe, and had fetched a huge amount at an auction.

Though, come to think of it, nobody famous would have a clue what vacuum cleaner they owned, never mind actually touching the thing.

Hah, that's exactly what I thought too, Sheba.


I have never heard of that breed of dog before, PS. I assume he does the same sort of job as our working Border Collies?

Yes I guess he does. I wonder if this is the standard breed in use there? Tell you what, one look at that face, and those sheep wouldn't dare misbehave . He's got a look about him of an 'old school' Headmaster, you know, the sort who only have to look at a class and they're immediately submissive

Hah, yes he has got a look about him, I agree.
