My dog was retrieving well before 4 months. The point I was making was the jumping off of the dock to retrieve a duck at 4 months. All of my pups sit, come, stay at weaning and are retrieving immediately. They will all be chipped and ready to go. Took her out in the lake in my stealth, had my brother throw a duck from shore over 100 yds away. She ran to the end of the stealth on her name and jumped in and took a line to the duck, retrieved it and brought it back to me. Everyone thinks they have the best dogs. I do not but they have always served me well. Take a look at some of my posts in waterfowl . We kill alot of birds from upland to waterfowl. My dogs perform very well under all conditions. I am very strict, As far as I am concerned they have a job to do. Perfect is close enough.

Craig...shoot me a PM...perfection is well...whatever. Having a safe dog is paramount then having a dog you love to hang out with and work with is where it is at for me. To each his own...but first an foremost I love my pup...and love to watch her work. You don't need a heavy hand to have a great hunting dog. My latest pup was not stoked about her first trip in the water...now she launches into the water. Not a pro...far far from it. Just a duck hunter that has had a few dogs...all of which have retrived anything I could drop. Can't say I can help much...but your dog will be fine. Drop me a line.

After speaking with Lee at Windriver labs we sent a deposit for upcoming litter in May.  Thanks for the info everyone.

Awesome! You will be very happy with your pup!!
I have doubts that you would ever regret your decision. 
Lee's pups are well above average.  A talked to a 1/2 dozen people who have her pups before I decided to purchase one, all gave good reports.
My pup is doing great, considering my training schedule was interrupted a couple of times, for extended periods, over the past 2 yrs. 

Other than having a little bit of a drinking problem, he's doing great  :chuckle:



Spent most of my $$ on huntin, fishin & retrievin dogs, the rest I just pretty much wasted.

Warren at Ireland Farms. My little yellow boy is 9 weeks old I have had him for 2 weeks and he sits on command with a whistle command he loves to retrieve and he loves the water. So Happy with our little guy LOUIE.

I'm picking up a female from the Ben & Roxy pairing this Saturday!  Warren has some nice dogs.

Craig, throw a ball, there Labs! If they don't know how to swim and bring the ball back, you won't have to dig a hole! :twocents:
She owes the ball and brings that back. Was thinking someone had a lab retrieving ducks at 4 months.

After seven months of waiting, while driving through a snow storm to get there across mountain passes, the business owner set a time for pick up, then promptly called me back and told me she was no longer going to sell me a puppy with no explanation whatsoever. After so many failed litters, and so much patience on our part, we were extremely disappointed. Business owner then refused to respond to us. They had a $250 deposit from us, which we are refusing to be refunded because of their immoral and indecent business practices. I've complained to the BBB.

I still have no idea what could have happened to make them change their mind in an instant like that, but I have read in other online searches about their questionable business practices and breeding activities.

Don't get left heartbroken like we did. This puppy was to replace a brown lab we had to put down at two from cancer. Thankfully a much BETTER breeder took pity on our story and is offering us another puppy. We will always be grateful to them!
