He's actually a really good looking dog! I know surprising! He's a neat freak, always cleaning himself(paws are the big ones), he's actually kind of a priss. I bet he is greatful, he would've been put down 1o days from when we found him(he was a pound hound). I think you're right, cow dogs COULD be gun dogs as they are very smart. But, the germans always do it better, we always have.......cars, planes, food, beer, dogs, genocide...wait that last one's not good! O.k., so we do ALMOST everything better!
