I'm in the market again, three years after Earl passed.
Earl was a family dog since the kids were infants when we got him. The next one will be more of a working dog/retriever for geese, ducks and quail. My son and I want to train the dog.
A few questions:
I've been looking on line for books concerning how to train a Lab to be an effective hunting dog....there is almost too much information. It is hard to pick a method or series of instructional material. Does anyone in the PP Trust have real world experience to help guide my methods?
Thanks in advance.
I am looking for an English Lab, like Earl. Again, the amount of data on breeders is overwhelming. I've been to all the sites, trust me. The guy I purchased Earl from over fifteen years ago is no longer in business...his number no longer connects. I'm working the local jungle drums as well.
So, again, anyone who has been where I am headed that has a recommendation I would be grateful. I am willing to wait for the right dog.
We have rescued a lot of dogs over the years so I get it. Our current dogs are both rescues. I have a specific task in mind and want the right dog not someones mistake. Sorry.
Lastly, I have a name picked out...a tribute to a certain Haiku master who posts here
