I remember my dog's first hunt, it for sure goes down as one of my most memorable hunts. That really is a very nice pic and good looking pup. Awesome when it all comes together, you can tell by the look on his faces he's got it figured out.
Man he looks identical to my new pup, who coincidentally is about two weeks younger than yours and had his first retrieve this past weekend! I'll post a thread when I'm back in decent service
