Subject: Merge Properties into Template

Hi all

I'm new to emacs and I'm new to org-mode, apologies if I should have
found this myself, but I have searched and come up blank.

I have a node with properties and I would like to merge that data into
a template.  For example:

* Dogs
** Fido
  :PROPERTIES:
  :BREED:    West Highland Terrier
  :COLOR:    White
  :AGE:      2
  :END:
* Templates
** Dog Template
Your dog, called [HEADLINE], is a [COLOR] [BREED], who is [AGE] years old.

I want to merge the item called "Fido" into the template called "Dog Template".

Could someone point me to the right bit of the manual so I can learn
how to do this?  Or should I be looking to use a different elisp
module to achieve this, something that plays nicely with org-mode?

Many thanks
Richard
