Option#1 Genesis27:3 has given you some darn good info. The color phase is attractive for me, the spot and stalk beats sitting at a bait station all day getting eaten alive by insects. Most all Outfitters has a Taxidermist who works with their clients. Option#2 Get rid of wife. Option #3 get rid of dog. Option #4 Get rid of both. Option #5 Look for a hard surface for buying the dog ! Seriously, Option #5 would be the cheapest. LOL All jokes aside Goodluck hope you get one.
