Hi All;
Thanks for the kind words!
Just realized I should have posted under "fly dressings" instead of here.
Recipie: Mustad 3366 size 12, Gutterman silk sewing thread, 2 wraps for abdomen, Pearsalls tying thread, Tups dubbing mix posted by Ray "Letumgo" Parker under his Tups variants post:

Ray, I really like that recipie, love how easy it is to dub and get that "rangy" look.

Bill Bailey pointed me to this site
http://www.flyleaves.dk/tup%27s_indispensable.htm which I should have found by myself years ago. The spaniel fur in the photo looks almost exactly the same colour as my opossum under-fur. No need to look for that dog any more...
