It's great. He was able to carry something like 20 pounds of gear with no problems, and was all business when doing it. One time I was changing lenses in the field, using his back as a place to put stuff. I forgot to put the 77LTD in the saddle pack after changing it. It was probably five minutes before I realized the lens was still sitting there. The dog just hadn't moved a muscle.
He's long gone now, the new dog is a bit of a scatter wit, and is being something more of a challenge to bring up to speed regarding the needs of the business.
