Do You Have A Four Legged Prospecting Buddy?


Recommended Posts

My boy "Major". Sadly lost him to Lymphoma cancer 3 months ago. This picture is a day before we had to say goodbye. Been very lonely and miserable since hes been gone.  Decided we really need a dog in our home so have another one coming on the 12th of August. Not sure what to call him but have been thinking " Miner/Minor" Which sort of resonates with the name 'Major' and my hobby

This is my prospecting dog Dasha, yesterday. After detecting a good spot she often helps by dropping big yellow nuggets in my pan. Now if I could only adjust her discrimination for sticks and tennis balls....

This is the most spoiled detecting dog there is.

I thought mine was but after viewing the photos, Buddy gets a 10 but please plead with him not to tell my Billy I gave him a ten.

This pooch thread is a doozy, I'd like to put a like on every post but I just don't have them to spare ?  So for everyone that's posted a photo of their little best buddy, even though you may not yet have a like from me, I do like your posts ?

Although to keep the site so it's not adults only I think strick needs to modify his post :laugh:

 

 

Yea I'm totally out of likes too.. so heres a smiley face for all the dog lovers :smile:

Catching up, here is my last real prospecting pup. Kirby, another fine Golden. I was making the transition from real photography to the brand new digital at the time, and so my photos of him in the field are mostly grainy little pictures. He was there with me in some miserable weather and took it like the trooper he was.

Kirby with me at Mills Creek, Alaska in October, 1999...

And in all his Golden Retriever glory. Rest in peace buddy!

Hi Steve

 He had a great coat. Would have been great in the snowy conditions keeping him and yourself warm.

A mate of mine had a golden retriever and she was the most obedient and loyal dog I have ever Known.

Over here in Oz in public places we have to keep our dogs on a lead and under control at all times. My mate never had his dog on a lead and the rangers would time and time again would stop him to question him about his dog not on a lead and go to issue him a fine. He would demonstrate complete control and obedience with her and would get off scott free every time.

I recon she could understand English.

She was a very intelligent and loving to everyone

Just a couple of questions Steve

Did you first like the breed of dog because of the word gold in its name ?

Did he retrieve much gold ?

Cheers Ozgold
