A very good retriever will be handling at a high level by two years old. Most who become consistently successful in AA or MH stakes are 3+ in retriever trials/HT's.

I can't sell them. It keeps me awake at night. They are friends.

Dropped Lola (my lab pup) off today with Pat at NW Performance Dogs.  We worked with her and some ducks for a bit.  I will try to get some pictures next week when I am back there with her.  She looks really excited so far.  I am excited and learned a lot also.  I will update the forum with the progress she makes with Pat in the next few weeks.  She is only 7 months old right now so hopefully she is ready for this.   :tup:

I tried to post yesterday but it did not show up for some reason. 

I met with NW Performance Dogs for an hour at the end of week 1 Sunday. 

Lola did really well for being a week into training.  Pat planted some Pheasants and she flushed them I shot them and they were picked up and dropped at my feet.  She loves to swim and returned birds to my feet from the water also. (she's a swimming machine)   Lola is really understanding the commands for a 7 month old and stayed with us the entire time.  I am excited to see what she is going to be doing in week 2.  We threw a lot of birds at her Sunday and I could tell she was having fun with them. 

I attached a picture that I took after we were done.  I could have got one in action but I did not want to be that guy taking pictures instead of training.

Just wanted to let everyone know my pup is done with her month at NW Performance.  She had a good time and loves to hunt and really loves ducks!  Pat did a good job I met with him once a week and worked with her.  Monroe is a long way for me but I think it was worth it he does a nice job.  Now where are the birds??   :dunno:

You have it easy.  My trainer is 5 hours from my house, and that's only because he moved 3 hours closer.  Now I only drive across 3 states instead of 4.  3 weeks ago when I picked her up it was easier just to fly her home.  Man the things we do for our dogs!
