No wonder he looks so pleased with himself
He looks to be one of those special dogs that don't come along too often.
I would say he has earned the back of the ute mate![]()

Sako who has just turned 4 & now totally switched on to what is required for successfully tracking & locating a wide variety of game from Deer to Quail & all without a word having to be uttered . Today alone Sako & Muttley the GSP/Kelpie/Header X tracked & pointed 3 Deer & 2 Pigs working on hand signals only .
Here is Sako a few days ago switching from having tracked & pointed a Stag to scenting & pointing a nice Boar seconds later ;
Muttley; Papered, Horney, Fence Jumping, GSP Father /Papered & imported , Loose Morals Kelpie, Mother/Header X.
Just turned 14 months ,was only ever meant to be company for our now retired Lab & a general Farm dog to keep the missus company ,now shows more potential than any of the dozen Gun Dogs l have had over the years & all rounder from retrieving ducks to pointing/tracking Deer,pigs.goats etc & will work till drops if allowed ,my bet is will grow into the best Gun Dog l have ever owned .
Here we are trying to have a quiet cuppa & smoko at a favored spot, we leave gear at & Muttley is letting us know Deer scent is drifting up on the morning suns heated air from the valley below. We can tell what is scented as when a Pig is scented the hackles go up .

Glad to hear they are both going well
lol always better to be pleasantly surprised by a dogs' ability, than to get one for a specific purpose only to find out it's not keen on doing the thing you got it forSounds like Muttley has the makings of a great muttley

You guys are very talented!
<br>An attempt at posting a photo. He is shaping up nicely.
If you have a garden and a library, you have all you need. Oh, and a dog, and a rifle
Very clever posting a photo from two weeks in the future!![]()
MY possum, says dog. MINE.
Er, actually mate, that’s not your possum, your sister killed that.
Good girl, GOOD GIRL, bloody good job.
Sister says, hey bro, ya do it like this, yer really gotta get in there…
Bro is unimpressed… Yeah…. whatever…
All is forgotten and forgiven later… Nine years together, full of fun and hopefully more very dead possums.
