Newsflash! From 1906
"Three English Sheep dogs the property of James A Garland arrived from New York by express this morning and were taken to Mr Garland's farm on Prudence Island. The dogs are valued at seven thousand dollars , and were first prize winners at dog shows in New York. They have long, shaggy grey and white hair and are about the size of a sheep" Source- Bristol Phoenix-- 100 years ago today April 6, 06-page 7 |

| My word- 7K that works out to about $2500.00 for a dog at the turn of the century... that is a TON of money!!!!! I'm not good with inflation but that seems like at least 20-30K now, probably even more... wow! |

| They must have really small sheep in Phoenix or they were GIANT dogs! Maybe that's why they were so expensive... |
| wow!! |
