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).

I have been tying from my Alaskan Malamute for a while now. The under coat
is a NEVER ending supply of dubbing. The rest of him is like having an 100+
pound buck tail. A trip to the store, a few packs of Cool-Aid and you have
every color in the rainbow.
(not to mention, he is always happy to see me and talks like a Wookie)
A dog that damned hairy you can tie off of all day and never even leave a
bald spot.
