New dog to replace old one

Postby Black Lab 48 » Thu Dec 30, 2004 3:32 pm

Some of you may remember back in the summer I posted that I had to put to sleep my 12 yr old black lab hunting partner. Hunting without a dog for the 1st time in 11 years is no fun. Well I started a new chapter by getting my 3 little boys (and myself) a new black female for Christmas. I had forgotten how much trouble puppies can be. My pen is not ready yet and my wife is about to throw me out. I'll have it ready this weekend. She is 9 weeks and loves to fetch a tennis ball already. I guess I will pull out my old training book "Train your Retriever" by James Lamb Free and start getting brushed up on my teaching.

I would say that 75% of the reason I go duck hunting is for the dog.
Nothing spells success like the smell of a wet and muddy retriever!!

You got one at the right time. (s)he will be huntin this time next year.

My Christmas pup just Thursday held steady on the shot and marked a big fat mallard down 60 yards through VERY thick buckbrush and crawled and swam a straight line, at least as far as I could see, which was only bout 15 yards. Then I had to listen, and man I was nervous. Bout 3 minutes later, all hell broke loose in there. There was splashin and thrashin and limbs breakin and quackin. It musta been a hell of a chase for about 2 minutes. Then it got quiet and he nosed back through to me about 2 minutes later with a very pissed greenie!

Last year huntin wasn't the same. The story above makes me hunt hard.

You'll have a lot of fun. You oughta start lookin at the gun dog forum. Go toi the index page here to find it.
