Don...All three of my digs were stray pups of about seven to eight weeks old that we rescued from a swamp in Pollytilly...we rescued five total, from two different litters. One died the next morning, and its brother is a happy mutt now living in the Bronx, NY. We kept the other three from the same litter; all had the same mom, we're told, but all obviously had different dads. One is a black female we named Elle, and her dad must have had a great deal of bird dog in him; the next, a mutt we named Tim, with reddish hound features, looks a good bit like his mom...or so I'm told...she died. The third, however, Sam, sounds the world like the dog who just showed up at your place. We found our dog at your village in 2000. My bet is that his dad is still around and is NOT neutered, and was at least still passing genes until ...how old did you say your new dog is? If so, he will make a truly good freind to have about. Of course I can't explain how he managed to get himself neutered. Our Sam is quite clearly part Golden Retriever....our caretaker's family call him "Pinto" because of his golden spots with an off white background that tends to lighten evertime we bathe him, and he loses a bit of that island red clay. He is my wife's favorite, while I geuss I tend to prefer Elle...maybe because she prefers me? Good luck on finding the owner of your new dog...I think he already has! All the best...dke http://www.thejudasbird.com On 5/1/2006 7:48 PM, DonRnJC2....com wrote: >Animalistos..........Dogs. We've been here at "home" on Roatan for eight >days.
