Hey gang,
The time has come, Im getting a pup. I spent an afternoon at Someday retrievers in Kamloops meeting some of the dogs and talking to Linda and was very impressed with her operation and her dogs and put a deposit down for a Lab pup. Ive hunted over many dogs in the past, helped in different training stages and watched many amazing dogs work upland and waterfowl and I'm finally in a place where I can get my own. I chose to go through a well known breeder because craigslist ain't the place for that, but Training at Someday cost thousands of dollars and thats not in the cards for me. I would also be more proud of a dog that I trained myself so that what Im going to do and here are my questions.

Lab trained for waterfowl retrieving only no upland
What books/DVDs/youtubers/forums would you recommend for guidance?
Clubs in Kamloops or close by that help me and the dog learn?
GPS coordinates to your favourite duck honey hole in Kamloops...............

Thanks in advance and know that I have lots of time to train and a good portion of hunting season off work due to my jobs, I will put in the time and effort and will hunt this dog like the breed is supposed to because there is something special about watching a hunting dog work.
