Post by: D-Rock425 on November 19, 2013, 12:52:05 PM: Hmmm so I need input on names I do like Dixie as a name. Any others?

Post by: Goldeneye on November 19, 2013, 12:57:13 PM: Congrats Drock! Every kid needs a dog to grow up with.

Dixie is a good name. Make sure it's a name you wouldn't be embarrassed to repeat when calling for her in the field. I've heard a few doozy's over the years. You might wait until you've had her for a week or so and let her personality drive the name you pick.

Not the ball. Anything resembling a bird? If you need some wings to attach to a retrieving dummy or something I can give you some. You need to get the taste and feel of a bird familiar with her. This is not the whole answer, but it would be a start.
