Pup's a water maniac!
« on: June 09, 2013, 06:44:45 PM »
Took her for a few retrieves this afternoon and she has become a maniac! First couple trips to the lake were pretty mellow. Today she wen't nuts. At 15 weeks she is pretty fearless.  Might need to get her into dock diving.

If you do, holler at me, I know someone that competes, she can probably give you all the pointers you could ever need.
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

I would never try to put a damper on a dog who enters the water with enthusiasm.

However, I am careful to know whats under the surface (if at all possible) before working and area.  A friend of mine had his golden impale itself on a submegerd steel fence post years ago, the dog did recover, but it was long and very expensive.
Spent most of my $$ on huntin, fishin & retrievin dogs, the rest I just pretty much wasted.
