Carol Davidson

I am deeply sorry to hear of the death of Carol Davidson, a very erudite lady who worked tirelessly for Dexters. One of her many aims and successes! Was in proving Dexter dun is Dexter specific, and also not due to introgression. An amazing lady "The Dexter World" has lost a warrior!!! RIP...

Re: Sale Reports Carlisle & York

Where and how are you advertising her? Have you worded the advert well and taken a good enough photograph? I have - so far always managed to sell mine privately. I pop them on my own Herd Page, other pages that I'm allowed and on here. I have had good success, even exported several times. People lik...
