He was and still "kinda" is a hell raiser... but only a few broken 2X4's later and he's comin too!

And this weekend he finally made meat! At 10 months old I could not be happier!

The public land bird hunting leaves something to be desired, even here in the beautiful Big Sky state... but we managed to knock a few down in front of him. One runner did get away! :'(

Love the pictures showing progression.

Maybe yours is a bit better than mine at retreiving :D

He'll retrieve birds or a dummy, dry land or water, until he cant move anymore (well, I actually have NOT got that far with him, as I get tired of it long before he does.) :chuckle:
