Smartest Duck Dog in the World By Kevin L Fairbrother Old Bill had a dog he called blue Claimed he was the smartest and Best duck dog in the World and Would give a demonstration to anyone who doubted Bill was at the local with his mongrel bitsa Blue When who should come in but his best mate, Reg G’day Bill says Reg, see you have your mongrel at your feet Blue might be a mongrel, Mate but he sure is smart In-fact old Blue is the smartest dog in the world Maybe we should put your claim to a test says, Reg Any time any place you wish says, Bill Ok, says Reg lets go down the river in the morning With a mist on the river and a frost on the ground Bill and Reg together with the mongrel dog Blue Arrived for the show down to see how smart Blue was For Bill was adamant that Blue was the best duck dog in the World Blue had sneaked off down the river hunting Whilst Bill and Reg prepared their guns No sooner than Blue had disappeared, he was back Sat at Bill’s feet wagging his tail and barking once What’s with your dog says, Reg, that mongrel will scare the ducks No way says Bill, I told you Blue is a smart dog, he is the best He is telling me that there is one duck sitting on the river So mate let us go and see if this smart dog is right Bill and Reg together with Blue sneaked down to the river’s edge Sure enough there was one duck sitting on the river Bang, Bill shot the duck and Blue retrieved it from the river Told you mate, the smartest duck dog in the world Now the same scenario occurred many times And Blue would sit at his master’s feet wagging his tail Sometimes barking up to six times and each time The barks corresponded to the amount of ducks on the river Got to admit, Reg says that your mongrel is smart And the proof is lying at our feet with a good bag of ducks Told you says Bill, old Blue is the smartest dog in the world Ok says Reg I agree, lets dress and wash them up Now while Bill and Reg were dressing up the ducks Blue had sneaked of again and was hunting down by the river As Bill was putting the dressed ducks in a sack Old Blue returned, not barking but running around in circles Your dog gone crazy says Reg, what’s his problem I might have to take back what I said about your dog being smart Meanwhile Blue had stopped going round and round in circles And had come back to Bill with a stick in his mouth Blue was frothing at the mouth and placed the stick between his legs He then began to hump the stick like crazy, He is mad says Reg No mate Blue is the smartest duck dog in the world, he is the best So what is that humping got to with being a smart dog Bill looks at Reg, mate this here is one smart dog, the best Blue is telling me that down on the river round the next bend There are more ducks on the river than you can poke a stick at So now do you believe me that Blue is the smartest duck dog in the world

G'day Kevin... now this is quite a yarn Kevin. It appears that us Aussies do have the smartest dogs in the world from the tales we hear around the campfire - Lindsay
