One things for sure mate,you'll have some fantastic memories of that dog and be able to tell many a tale long after he's gone and until you take your last breath!!! Great dog and fairplay to you for keeping him in tiptop order and proving that longevity of a working dog isn't and shouldn't be two or three seasons and then calling it a day!! ATB Andy.

Well done snipe and gaffer, just goes to show that a dog can keep going as long as it's looked after, my old bitch will be 10 soon and she is the same after a night out just sleeps next day lol. Fair play though i bet they took some carrying!
