RIP Casper

Hi All.

I am putting this together as a small tribute to my mate I had to say a final good buy to just just last week. I have wanted to do this since he past, but only really had it in me to do it now (with tears in my eyes still).

I was lucky enough to get hold of Casper as a puppy and trained him up to be the most loyal and competent deer & duck retrieving dog I could have asked for. We were actively "out there doing it" at any spare moment, and the moment the rifle came out of the cabinet he knew it was game on. Unfortunately he was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma (bone cancer) 3 months ago, and I had to let him go at his young age of 4. Which is the hardest part as he was right in his prime.

I have put together a small collation of the good times with Casper, as memories I will never forget.

RIP buddy boy.

Great looking dog,

Remembering the good times is what its about, still sad to lose em

my thoughts are with you matey brae-i recently had to let mine go to the great dog place in the sky-altho the bugger was 10.to have to go at 4 is bloody rough-judgin by the photos a cracker of a dog too.buggers are probably up there chasing whatever and havin the time of their lives doin it.
one thing you gotta admire about a dog -whatever hes given he never whinges&whines about his lot like bloody humans -its always "ok boss whats next"

It’s hard doing the right thing for someone so close to your heart
Thanks for pushing through the pain and sharing with us

The spirit of the legend will forever live in your soul

theres nothing worse than losing one in its prime with so much more you could,ve done together.
the stupid wasteful unfairness of it is the crushing part .
been there to many times with to many good young dogs but it dont get any easier.
but better to have loved and lost than never had the time with them at all.

Sorry for your loss VTR. It might be the right decision but it's bloody tough all the same Remember and reflect on all the great times and places you both shared together. RIP.

condolences to you.

Sad in the extreme. A life cut short by the same prick of a thing that took our mate Toby.

Sucks mate but you did the right thing. Pretty sure we talked about this at Tobys shoot? My dog Oskar suffered the same fate.

Condolences VTR. RIP Casper

Great tribute mate, sorry for your loss.....

It's gutting mate, I feel for you.

Condolences VTR :(

This +1, they're always gone all too soon :(

mate. losing a pet is like losing a member of your family. its bloody awful but at the end of the day you have to tell yourself that you gave them a great life. in our case we rescued our bull terrier x dogo from a a real a--hole. he is 8 now and we have had him 6 1/2 years. a wonderful dog who i hope will stick with me for many years to come.
i have been off work now for 3 and a bit years having almost had my arm ripped off courtesy of some bastard builder who failed to repair a set of stairs properly. without my dog i would have lost the plot by now (not going loopy though). they sure are mans best friend. my condolences and i'm sure he had an awesome life

He was a mighty fine dog and I will always remember some of stories about him that you've shared with me (especially the one where he dragged the wounded deer off a slip face and the two of them tumbled into the river)

While I had the pleasure of hunting with you and Casper, I unfortunately didn't get to see him at his best.

As much as you taught Casper, he would have also taught you alot too, so part of him will live on in every dog you ever have moving forward.

I bet Casper was looking down on you on the weekend having a laugh about how long it took you to find that deer. But you did him proud.

RIP Casper, may you have a prime spot in front of the fire, and plenty of game up there to chase about.

Sorry to hear. Hard times no matter what.
RIP Casper

Sorry about yr loss we know how you feel our lab Jess died last month she had cancer too,it sucks,she was 12yrs old.

VTR, I have already extended my condolences to you privately, but I have to acknowledge Caspar here and the wonderful job you did with him. Your first Deer Dog was a bloody cracker, full of "go" and you did a wonderful job with him. The things he taught you will live on in every dog you run from this day forward and in that way a piece of him will always be with you on every hunt. I had a lump in my throat when I heard he had gone in peace, and do now typing this... He was a lovely boy and everyone who met him will remember him well. Stay strong bro.

@GWH You have pretty much nailed it on the head. I missed him like crazy on Sunday. I shot a deer and spent 2 hours looking for it, was no more than a 15m radius from where I was. I only found it because that dog tought me to never give up, because that he did not! I am certian he was looking down having a good laugh at me, while also being by my side every step of the way!

Thanks for all the kind words and thoughts team! Humbling to know so many of you care.

just seen this sorry for your loss I know how you a feeling. Gut wrenching losing your best 4 legged mate.:TT TT:
