my boy...

9 weeks old monday... he's huge

i thought id tell you about my progress with training him for duck hunting... since guys flip over the fact im a chick and i hunt.

i brought him for a walk in the trails and brought him to the lake. he went right in. so thats good that i dont have to struggle with the swimming part. he swims pretty good for 9weeks (monday).

i also started the gun process... i fed him outside and shot a few times and he didnt even budge. he would just look up to see what i shot at.

also ive been working with him on the sit command. and he's doing pretty good. he knows come by whistle now. when i started telling him to come, i would say come and do 3 whistles with my mouth, now i just whistle with my mouth and he comes running. so once he starts sitting good, im going to do the 1 blast of the whistle and get him with that.

You got a winner! I love labs, I hunt upland bird. I am training a golden retriever now for this seasons first out. I put my lab to rest last year and lost the battle for a new dog and we got a golden instead of the silver lab that I wanted.:grr

Enjoy the dog, and the pepperoni. I hate water fowl, wont even waste the shot on it:blah

right on, a chick hooked on quack! Took my wife once.....she shot a crow while I was takin a leak...:D She never went again, wasn't fond of the "wade and shoot".

Nice lookin pup too, them labs grow like mad. We had one that was 75 pounds before she was a year, but she wasnt much of a hunter, just ate everything in site (hammer, fishing reel, soda can, shovel, and a couple .22 shells) nutty farm dog.

Have fun with the training, takes a TON of patience.

Is their such a thing as a lab that doesn't have a water fetish?

Although ours have no formal hunting training they have become very adept at coming home with partridge and chipmunk :D Strange. (we have 2, ones 8yrs ones 2yrs)..

my old golden retriever would run after chip munks and squirrels... run them down... grabb them by the head and flick them over her back breakin their necks... then she'd let them lay there... it was crazy there was no animals left by my house from it....

to bad she got hit by a car :(

my new golden well its 7 and has mouth cancer now is worthless it lays around 2 much... never does anything

I had a black lab, it loved the water too. If i let it outside ungaurded and it disappeared, I automatically went to the lake and it would be there swimming. It amazingly lived til 18 years old. Man I miss that dog.:(

I remember when you first got that dog Rico....Then you found out he had something wrong with him (a disease or somethign...can't quite remember). But it seems like he got over it well:)

[Rip_Tear]

Puppies are cool, I like inside dogs, friendly and relaxed :D I don't know if I will ever get a dog when I move out because my allergies... But we have a Black and white Canadian Husky! She is super hyper!!!

We used to have a black lab that HATED the water, we dont know why, but I just had to add that, werid eh?
