 Yes, yes. He's nine years old. I got him when he was seven, and I thought he would slow down. He has not slowed down at all. They get more energy as they get older, I've got to tell you. But these are one of those few dogs that are kind of like dual dogs. You can use them for herding. They were used, not that I would, but they can use them for hunting waterfowl as well. They retrieve. Just an amazing breed of dog. They have kind of like a Rastafarian coat sometimes.
