New puppy
« 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?

I like this old feature in Gun Dog for a good general schedule....keeping in mind that all dogs learn at different paces of course. Emphasis on general schedule.

Thanks. That's a great site. I'm looking forward to working her, and getting her hunting.

congrats good looking pup
“Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.”

Great looking pup.  I don't get mine for four more weeks.  :bash:  The anticipation is killing me.
Hunt hard and shoot straight!

Good looking dog.  We don't get out pup for another ten weeks, but it will be worth the wait I'm sure!
