Probably one of my favorite Re dog designs has to be my merchant design!! The amount of times I was ever so grateful to see the merchant next to a checkpoint when I played Re 4 is unimaginable.
For his breed, I chose an Australian Koolie, very little is known about him. He seems to set up shop on the go and carries a wide range of goods. He has an unknown connection to the Duke.
incidentally I spoke with management at my training school this morning and it was basically an hour of thanking each other and talking about what the various exercises were supposed to look like. The lady I was speaking to is in the process of getting a Koolie puppy for her next dog--speaking of Australian herding breeds!--and we got to talk puppy shop for a bit in between chewing over the planned trajectories of the class. I am very relieved--I really like that school, they're a ton of fun to work with, and both T and I have toyed with applying to teach a couple classes there off and on. Might be a good way to fill our often sorry budget for training classes here and there--especially for me, since I can't just pick up shifts at work.
Anyway, I feel way better, I'm transferring to a different section of the class starting tomorrow morning and the dude with the class earlier this week is going to be observed by a senior trainer for some time. I frankly expect him to flounce at the tightened supervision, but we'll see how that goes for him.

A Koolie (or Coolie) is an Australian herding breed developed along similar lines to the kelpie, from English and German herding breeds (the German Heading dog and German Tiger (tee-ger) are two breeds the club mentions, as well as the Smooth Collie) in the early 1800s. It’s believed that the name comes from Australians mishearing German immigrants saying ‘collie’.
They’re used for working all kinds of stock, and there’s lots in sports here as well as things like customs detection.
They come in all colours, primarily Merle, and in long or short coats, though short coated with prick ears is most common. The Koolie Club of Australia now has a breed standard too! They’re not recognised by any kennel council that I know of.
