I won't argue with you, you know a LOT more about it! The color scheme caught my eye.

It was simply called "Garry" in Peter Gathercole's book,"The Fly-Tying Bible".

I like your background information a lot better! Maybe they omitted the "Dog" part of the name when they stopped using dog hair?
I didn't have red bucktail, so I substituted craft fur. And I didn't have blue-dyed guinea fowl, so I substituted a kingfisher-blue dyed hackle.

I was a bit careless with the black nail polish over the head threads. Drat.
