Ive taken mine for some gundog lessons. Which is new for both of us. Pretty enjoyable so far though. Early days.
First time he met the trainers bitch, she gave him a right telling off. He ran off yelping. He's like a 13 year old unruly teenager giving me the finger behind my back atm.
Mine is a chocolate, with quite a few Drakeshead FT CH on his Dads side, and Stormley SH CH, on his mothers side. So he's got a right pedigree, but he's not KC reg. We werent looking for one with such a fancy lineage. He came from my brothers fiances sisters family, and the litter wasnt 'planned'
He's also 34kg at 7 months. Every other lab gundog there was small lithe and black.....First thing i was told was that chocolate labs dont attend shoots..:theyareon
Mine looks freaking huge next to em. Im hoping he doesnt get persecuted for it.
We get homework every two weeks. Doing memory retrieves and basic whistle stuff atm.
I 'bushcraft' with him most days, as we go to the woods for walks, and theres always something to see.
Oh , the last time we took him canoeing, there were two of us in the canoe, he was sat in the middle, and i dropped him over the side, in his pfd, and he sank...
I wasnt expecting that.
He resurfaced and scratched the cr@p out of the side of my shiny new red prospector. Ouch.
