I put in a Google search under bordercot guy and the following link came up....

bordercot guy

He was a Flatcoated Retriever. If you do a search using Google you will find a few references to him, including a beautiful picture of him.

i hope to use his granson to my bitch sometime this year.

He was around the same time as our old Nemo (The Viking of Woodbridge) those of you who may remember (maybe Westie Lover?) Guy had really good driving movement and was outstandingly well balanced; head not quite classic, but the rest of him well made up for it. A lovely dog who passed his movement to a good many of his progeny.
