Success! Drake will now retrieve! pic included

Post by labman21 » Sun Jan 10, 2010 8:07 pm

First day I got Drake to fully retrieve a dead bird. I was so excited, and so was he. I am so glad that I have been going through a ff program with Drake. I recommend it to anybody who wants a dog who retrieves to his fullest potential. Drake had all the right instincts, but he had a problem and ff'ing him worked it out. Thanks for the help guys you have made me one happy guy :D

Sorry picture isn't highest quality. It's a cell phone pic. My computer is having issues downloading from my camera.
A dog is only as good as his trainer.

Isn't it great when a plan comes together? Well done!

Very nice young fella, very nice.....Congrats.
The second kick from a mule is of very little educational value - from Wing and Shot.
