More: Gauge is a great little outdoor pal! He’s a convenient size, he can go anywhere and do anything. He’s a fantastic fishing companion and absolutely loves heading out on the boat for a day of swinging flies! Gauge is 3 years old and enjoys a variety of outdoor activities from hiking, hunting and fishing to skiing and boating. Gauge also accompanies me during my work days while out in the Canadian wilderness as a wildlife biologist. He’s our best friend and we feel he would make a fabulous Orvis cover dog!
