Title: Pup Work
Post by: CLARKTAR on February 21, 2016, 02:01:52 PM: Hey all. Been browsing the site for sometime, and decided to go ahead an register.

Got a 4 month old pup (first dog I ever paid for, black Lab) and am looking to find some other folks with hunting retrievers to go out with during the off season, do some training etc. Would love for this pup to be around some other hunting dogs.

I currently live in Port Angeles. My pup has some basic obedience, and has been great at retrieving the dummy, and water retrieves.

Thanks

I should work on getting some live birds for him also
