As far as hunting goes hes not that good... took him out with a mates very good finder/bailers one weekend and all he managed to do was teach my mates dogs to bail possums up trees... mate wasnt happy at all haha.

Our staffy died in the water, used to swim with us every day in summer, even dived under for sticks and rocks. Had a heart attack in a deep pool in Waimana while chasing something think it was a trout...was over 14yo
