Extremely friendly dog who is always happy. His hobby is finding and bringing stuff (which is very useful for example when puppies steal shoes....not so useful when he finds hedgehogs and ....yeaaahh...brings them).
Together with Solo he is the dominant male in our pack and he will educate the youngsters together with Solo. Very cool and honest with the stock. He could be a bit more forceful but on the other hand he is absolutely unbeaten (ok, Twist is very good in it too....) in finding and bringing back lost ducks or working out of sight or in the dark.
