the fur from Ralph the golden makes great body dubbing for an elk hair caddis and I've
tied a few PMD variants from it. Damn things float forever.

I know the golden is a "water dog," but are you suggesting the hair
has CDC-like properties, or do you treat it with floatant?

I have a liver-and-white Brittany. When I comb him, the two colors
get blended on the comb. They make a very good Sowbug (Cress bug).
