   Pixie, my friend and very faithful companion is no longer with me.  She was   
   the fifth in a line of Shelties that go back almost forty years, and I don't   
   quite yet understand that she is gone.   
      
   But she is, and now comes the task of finding a companion.  I'm not looking   
   for a show dog (been there, done that, got the ribbons, T-shirt and   
   negotiating the movie rights), just a good, solid friend.  Maybe turn   
   her/him into a CD some day, but certainly not the show circuit again.   
      
   Puppy to teenager, it makes not a whit of difference. Male or female, no   
   difference.  Not looking for breeding stock, so fertile or fixed, no   
   difference.  Prick ears, gay tail, no big deal.   
      
   AKC, sable, friendly, active, healthy are on the list.  Bad bite, hip   
   dysplacia, apple head, sway back, nasty temper are not.   
      
   Prefer Sacramento or Reno area, but anywhere within a day's drive of   
   Sacramento will do if necessary.  If there is a better place to post this   
   question, please advise.   
      
   Regards,
