Lost Dog, Tira Lodge, Kawekas, HB

Hi there everybody, Im new to this site, but am desperate to get as many eyes out there as possible to find our beloved dog. He is a desexed male with the blue/grey colour associated with heelers but he has black floppy ears. Tail is long and has a curl and is quite fluffy. He is wearing a dark collar with three HDC registration tags. He was lost whilst out tramping in the Kaweka Ranges of HB, near Tira Lodge (04/04/15). He can be a nervous dog and may not approach strangers if called. He is a registered avian trained dog and is registered also with DOC. please contact us or DOC if you find him. We believe he mayve tracked back to Tira Lodge, so if anyone sights him please contact DOC in Napier. He was sighted by trampers immediately after he was lost, but due his nature he avoided contact with them. We are trying to get back out there ASAP to get him.
