Took my 9 1/2 month old lab Buddy out for her first hunt last sunday and she did very well.
She didn't retrieve any birds when we shot but she behaved well and came back when called. I threw birds for her to retrieve when we shot though and she brought them back and delivered them to hand. Looks like she'll be a good duck dog and I'm sure Remi will be happy to take on less of a workload on those days she would normally be the only dog working when there are 3 of us out there!
Buddy is the first dog I've needed help training and I'm glad I dropped her off at http://bcgamebirds.com/bcgamebirds.com/Home.html for 5 weeks. Kevin was able to mould her into a dog I can handle, I was really frustrated trying to train this dog but she's a pleasure to take out for training now!
