I can't say I'm making the "Australian" part of the connection, but that's OK.
Any dog with the name Hops is OK by me. Back in 2000, about 6 months after getting married, my wife and I got two 8 week old Chinook puppies, and named them Barley and Hops.

We actually considered "Barley" as a name as well . The Australian part of the name comes from the fact that the breed originated in Australia. Nothing more than that, just a way to differentiate the breed. I just learned all of this a couple months ago.

A Stone Brewing reference? One of my favorite breweries.
Maybe we should merge to Favorite Beers thread with the Dog thread?
