An aside but totally accurate, true and no embellishments.

I used to have a ginger dog, a mongrel, but with a lot of border collie and something ginger in him.

Down the road, a man kept a Rottweiler bitch who he wanted to lend to a stud etc to make good money out of the pups. She duly became pregnant.

I wish to point out that my dog did not, to our knowledge know how to escape the back garden. By deduction, the would be breeder reckoned there was only one ginger dog locally.

One day, he came to our door with a box full of puppy Rottweilers. Looked the pedigree in every way, except the colour.

I had to slam the door as he was swinging back to land me one.

Never saw him again mind. My eldest told his lad I expected the pick of the litter, which must have gone down like a pork chop in a mosque.
