Took our dog out for the first 'real' time. He did awesome!!! We are very pleased with him. I was a little worried because we haven't worked all that much with him. But, I guess it just comes naturally. Of course, he has some issues that need to be addressed but overall he did very well. He performed some blind retrieves, two long distance retrieves, and one wounded/diver retrieve where the bird dove and he stayed on it. I'm so excited! I will get a pic posted later on. Still looking for the man that sold me this dog at Sam's in Temple. I would like to tell him that he is doing a great job so far. Thanks.
