Noel, Coops is right, our dogs are very fast and elusive, so much so that I have never been able to get my hands on one of those really fast ones. In trying to think of an Australian icon to apply to this "argument" I did think of Boomerang but unfortunately it conjured up visions of one going part way around and then coming back - I am sure you also have a few of them. Not a very nice thought. Boomerang would certainly be an off-putting name to give to a dog, that is, to the punters and others including other owners/trainers. Or it could mean a dog that keeps coming back to you from trainer after trainer, maybe because it is slow, dirty or is a shocking kennel dog (barks and whinges all day and night).
