    Munsey was closer Dundee, but good guess at least you didn't call him a labradoodle like one of the boys did last week!

    He's a Murray river retriever Dougie - a gundog landrace that survived only in Australia for at least 140 years. When you say a curly coat to an Australian, this is what they think of, not the English type we have. He is registered with the association over there, who keeps a breeding registry of them for the true working bred dogs. They are also conducting a DNA sampling program as well, that involves 100s of dogs already, which has shown it to be a distinct breed. Gus is part of that.

    A very healthy long-lived breed, known to regularly live to 16-18, the oldest current known one lived to 20!

    The concensus after the DNA testing is that they have their origins in the now extinct norfolk retriever, as well as the water spaniel and the curly coat retriever. Its old enough to be part of the make up of all of those modern breeds.

    What gets me is the old pictures from the 1800s, they haven't changed in type at all. I thought I'd grab one before they become a registered kennel club breed, because they are guaranteed to bugger it right up!

    Lovely looking dog. Do you intend establishing the breed here?

    I'm keen on living for a long time. Can I borrow some DNA?

    From what I'm told Tahr, you are living a long time already

    As for establishing them here, I'll see how this guy performs first. I've just found out that there is one more well bred one here in NZ that is registered too so that's a good start. If this one goes well I'll send for a well bred bitch.

    New pup Axl (should really call him Sir shits a lot) is settling in well. He has got a bit more adventurous every day.

    His first trip to the river out front of the house and by the way he reacted, it was his first time on sand.
    Jumped straight into an eddy/puddle off the river so I doubt he will be water shy.
