Yeah, personally I'm looking for a robust 25 year old female hunting partner, capable of back-country heavy pack trips. At 65 I've lost a step or two and 30 lbs of pack weight...

My wife may differ as to my choice... but my current partner is a year older and has had a triple by-pass. And now he has a knee problem....

It's costing us time on those 10-mile back in hunts....

We are probably gonna die doing this chit, but WTF!

The dog (Lab, 11 plus years old) is on his own.

The new one at the wife's insistence once we move back south to the Kenai is gonna be a mini Dachshund..

Custom made pack, no doubt.

GV - that's a fine looking partner!

The only true cost of having a dog is its death.
