Anyone know where you can buy these. Bid for a couple on ebay, but to no avail so far. Anyone know if anyone makes realistic replicas anywhere? Thanks, Rod

Got an aggro wee border terrier cross, and having finally trained her well enough to walk her off the lead, I'm venturing further out into the hills - into adder territory too cold at the moment, but when it warms up they'll be about. I KNOW she's not going to go into retreat if she meets an...
