Question for you if you don't mind.

Are there wild Pheasants in Kettle Falls? Never been there but have been looking at some nice pieces of property there.

He is a ball of fire.....

Don't spoil him!! Just limit everyone to 2-3 hugs/day.

Wait for about a year then see who is picking up the crap in the yard. (hint-------Dad)

Hornseeker · « **Reply #12 on:** March 15, 2011, 09:19:41 AM »

Yeah...I've already got that figured out.... Oh well... IN about a year or so he'll be my boy anyway....

real cute pup

Hornseeker · « **Reply #18 on:** March 17, 2011, 06:00:21 AM »

dang, he is fairly strong willed...

In Wolter's book, Game Dog, he talks about picking a pup and some little "tests" you can do to test them out...

One of them you put him on his back and hold your hand on his chest, then watch the reaction. If he just lays there he's easy going and probably not real strong willed, may be shy later on.... if he struggles but doesn't freak out, that is what you want...he tough but secure.... if he turns into the tasmanian devil... well, you can guess. He's got a hard head and is going to need 2X4 training on top of other methods....

My 9 year old daughter tried it and he went Taz on her... we were laughing so hard because I was reading from the book as she was holding him down and he was doing word for word what Wolters said the strong willed dog would do....

When I held him down, he struggled lightly, but would submit most of the time....every once in a while he'd go Taz on me though

He is "coming" real well and is learning not to rush in the door when I open it... I am really looking forward to the next few months of training!
