Great looking dogs guys. Have a new lab myself. A couple of pointers out for you guys. Its too cold for the pups Right now. If they go in by them self fine. Cold weather and young dogs can develope a thing called cold tail. Its like the dog broke his tail and freezes in onespot. Once they get this they r prone to get it more. Also when starting to teach with birds frozen r the way to go. I forch fetch my labs as soon as they loose there baby teeth. Using a frozen bird teaches the dog not to hard mouth the birds. The reasonfor force fetch for who doesnt know is to teach the dog to bring back a bird to hand alive if itwasnt killed. I have seen dogs eat birds that were still alive.
Young pups are sure full of energy enjoy
I get hatchlings order tags and raise them. You know the time required to train. If you want a excellent bird dog you do what has do be done. Nothing compares to watching a full breed hunting machine at work. I will pm you
Kodos for picking up rescue dog. As far as birds. You can get a permit from dec to raise pheasants and quail. Quit easy. I havent done it in yrs but this spring i plan on getting some quail
