Weeeeellll... he could have found someone less lazy and more consistent and a bit better at dog training and more in tune with the gundog mentality than me, but as it happens he didn't, so he's stuck with me.
But on the other hand he could never have found a better pack leader/big brother/mentor than Spike. So he isn't doing too badly.
...I'm not entirely certain, but I believe he was bought on impulse from a man in a pub as a very small cute puppy. I do know that the people who bought him were told he was a lurcher and never learned otherwise till they surrendered him, and that they had no idea what to do with him. Apparently the seller was a gypsy who was never seen again. I'm fairly sure that either he or perhaps his dam were stolen.
