So your dog is 40 years old ... wow never had one live past 15 myself ... thats gotta be some kinda record dog age

40 human years is 280 in dog years. That dog must be a descendant of Methuselah.

Didn't you guys know, diggin' in the dirt, makes you live longer.

Gettin' buried under the dirt is what you want to avoid.

 

[coondog]

Oh man that's funny!

I can tell he's guilty just by the cookie eating grin on his face.

 

[metalfun]

Or maybe he has nine lifes like a cat =135 years.He's just getting started.

Maybe 280yr old Cooper never smoked, drank, and played poker like those dogs in that one picture?

After reading Spuds post a few times, I surmise his boyhood 'Spaniel' took his toy and buried it, as all Spaniards are apt to do...that beautiful retriever Cooper, looks like an honest sort, and since he's a "golden retriever" should be employed for said purpose,...you know those Spaniards, they took a lot of gold from everybody and tried to get away with it!! I bet that bygum golden could lead you to that reprobate Spaniards hoard, and all he would want is a pat on the head!! Turn him loose, and watch where he sniffs Spud! Full disclosure: what your dog 'thinks' is gold to him, may not be to you...unless his rear end, poop, and nuts are gold, in which case, you truly do have a "golden retriever" only one way to be sure...do some diligence and report back!

ya know, they do train dogs to sniff out pretty much anything in small amounts.
and every metal has its own distinct smell ... HMMM
just train cooper to sniff out gold and silver and turn him loose in the park.

beautiful dog by the way ... looks like a good ole boy ...
I got chased away from one of my spots a few weeks ago by a wild hog.
so, i would love to take mine out detecting with me.
but, between the skeeters, ticks, and yellow flies there would not be much left of him after the trip ...

Think this may be Cooper 0.2

 

[spudnuts11]

I have trained the dog to smell many different scents,he likes milk bones
But he sniffs silver coins and tast them! as I buy coins,he has the sent.
I have found a lot of silver on the surface just using my Garrett pine pointer
behind his nose

Kellyco may have to invest in Golden Retriever's . That is a really cool dog.
