@peterdrake I've just watched this pic of your dog Violet and I'm amazed how similar she is to my late dog friend Jacky. Do you have any clue about her breed?
@mekonto There's probably some Corgi in there, but everyone says she looks like a miniature German shepherd.
@peterdrake there is german shepherd for sure, I thought that maybe some kind of hunting dog too but corgi also sounds plausible with those ears
@mekonto She desperately wants to catch a squirrel but has never done so.
@peterdrake lucky squirrel , 
@peterdrake those ear would pick up the treat jar being approached at least a mile out, magnificent!
