Oh. I have a retriever. He's in disgrace right now. If I used some of them GBHs on him do you think he might be stolen?

From my experience of backwater Canada, you have a better chance of getting your dog shot for being a nuisance, or eaten by Coyotes, rather than being stolen for being an esteemed breed.
With exceptions, a dog here is a commodity rather than a pet, used as an alarm and to keep predators away.
If you do need useful info from a Thompsonian! Maybe make that question 10 !!!

Most retrievers are a disgrace, one minute they're groomed all lovely, shiny and smooth the next they're wading through a mud stream and rolling in a puddle! :blink::blink:

That's certainly true. And away from all other civilized aspects of life.

Apart from rampant retriever crime.

Thompson's a hotspot for the mining support industries, I know that much. Loads of planes head up to mining camps further north from there. Probably lots of work in that sector
