    Meet Gus the Murray River Retriever

    I had posted a picture of him before in the photo thread, but I feel a dog this good looking deserves his own page

    Never saw one on the Murray myself. Are they Australian?

    Beautiful pooch mate, grew up with one as a kid "curly". They're great dogs, many years of happy hunting and good times together I'm sure.

    Good write up too, I have seem them used on deer as well but the majority of the time it's been birds.

    All the best mate

    Cheers Jack, my flatmate had one when I lived in Vic, at the time I hated it because it was more versatile than my flash Harry versatile breed would take that dog out on ducks one day, sambar the next, saw it stop a pig once and was a dream to live with. Here I am ten years later with a dog from the same line as my old flatmates!

    I liked the idea of a smaller breed for deer and duck, with a decent coat for warmth, in a darker colour so they don't stick out in the bush or in the maimai. I'd been looking hard at other retriever breeds but they are a bit of a minefield in terms of health and ability. No puffing and panting like some other retriever breeds too, and a fantastic trainable temperament. My mind kept going back to that curly, so I thought why not?

    There's certainly a lot of spaniel traits going by his looks. But in terms of temperament he is definitely more retriever than spaniel

    Number 3 for Gus, taken a few weeks ago just before his first birthday. Hoping for a spiker, but only hinds out with young fawns at foot so this one got it. Easy carry
