    Snapper we have a mix like yours. Just substitute Irish setter for retriever in the recipe. We also have a ABCA boarder collie. From observing these two dogs and the boarder collies first home they need room to run, time to be with you, and a purpose. Leave them alone all the time inside and...

Was looking around for lenses for my Nikon DLSR and was finding that a 28-300 wide angle was out of my affordability range. Bought a used Nikon D3100 as I was tired of not having enough...
