I spent some time with Randy and the puppies Saturday. I didn't even think to ask about naming the pup. Names that start with a "J" well that adds at least some direction. :D Probably will go visit again Randy seemed like a great guy to deal with, and even offered some of his time when training star...

Dog will be fine wouldn't worry about the lead. You may want to back off the retrieval of dead birds until the pup is older.
