Title: New puppy
Post by: Revwrangler on December 14, 2013, 08:21:58 PM: Well I broke down and bought a puppy this afternoon. 8 week old Yellow lab.

So any books or tips on training to be a duck dog would be appreciated.

Also at what age do you start? (https://hunting-washington.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.tapatalk.com%2Fd%2F13%2F12%2F15%2Fesunemyp.jpg&hash=cd33c13e06d4f39b7dfb33f09bcffa87adf79cdc)
