Feb 26 update...
Second day of solid (mush) food. First Spectra 9 immunizations today.
Little black girl in back making all the noise is reserved (she's not receiving any attention or other kinds of reward for her noise!)
One of the Chocolate girls also reserved.
We're feeding them one at a time and only lowering food for them when they're calm and submitting to our control. At least 3 different re-starts per session, to reward calm submissive behavior. (Transitioned to this from the ENS.)

Asking 1000 for the Females, 800 for the Males.
Currently have
Full AKC, no restrictions.
Sire is my 17yo son's dog, Milo. 3yo in June. He has been getting lots of field work in and is proving out great. Sharp, listens, learning hand signals, 100 yard moving water retrieves... he's doing awesome! 18 blings on his 5 gen pedigree (master hunter, etc. One national field trial champion.) Mid sized, driven but respects authority and is controllable. Very sweet dog, no meanness in him whatsoever. Athletic, beautiful build.

Dam is my 15yo son's dog. 2yo in June, Lily is doing great with her companionship and house dog training. Very smart, attentive, respectful, and beautiful blocky build. (Looks more like an English Male than an American Female!) She's training for the field as well, but hasn't had much experience yet. Great potential. Intense, while very loving and kind.

Can you post up the pedigrees for the sire and dame?
I've got the sire with the numbers blacked out (puppy mills steal them for counterfeiting.)
I'll do one of the Dam as well.

Started doing ENS therapy. (Early Neurological Stimulation.) As per the military “superdog” program. Going to try to determine if it helps with early training and manners. Will be training calm submission at gates and doors and the food dish. We’ll see if ENS helps.

Are they English or American? Could you post pictures of mom and dad?Milo is our Stud. He’s doing really well in the field and had his first really full year in the blind this year. He made a few really long retrieves in the Yakima and Columbia. He doesn’t like ice, but he’s very driven and figures out how to deal with it! Lay’s out over the water with enthusiasm! He’s got his tongue out here, sitting with Lily’s mom.

Very quick Success!!!
I've had Alex and David (sons, owners of sire and dam) doing one-on-one manners training over food with these puppies. (We transitioned to this after they aged out of the ENS therapy.) It seems to have stuck pretty good!
Yesterday I took the mushed food out and set it down and claimed it... prevented them from going for it. It took a rather frenzied 60-90 seconds, but then I had them all submitting. Sitting, looking for direction from me. A little confusion... Then I pushed the food out with them.
Today, I went out, set down the food, claimed it.... and they all very enthusiastically gathered around, but they sat, or stood, wagged, looked at me, looked at the food... WAITED..... These pups are 5 weeks old!
They're getting it!!!
They will be fed this way from now on.
They will be trained to doors and gates in a similar way as soon as they move to the kennel from the puppy den area.
These pups will be READY to LEARN!
I'll try to get a video of it tomorrow, it's very fun to see!

Having seen some of your kennel training of pups, it is truly amazing.
You grow SMART pups.

Still tricky, bend down to correct one and another thinks it’s time to go! But you get the idea! Trying to make it non-verbal at first, then later, when the submission to the human being is established, it will transition to clear verbal commands.
Last Female Reserved! Black and Choc Males available...

Will get a new feeding video posted soon, before I move them to the outdoor kennel... They're sitting, letting me pet them and praise them for being so good..... food is sitting there by my feet... they want it, but they're obeying... they're 6 weeks!
Weather looks good, so I'll likely get them in the kennel this week and start doing gate and doorway training, and hopefully some leash training.
Second shots today. Second worming yesterday.
(Working the local vet to get the OFA certs done on my pack. They don't want new clients, but I'm being persistent!)
