Before I set up the winger I hand threw a couple of bumpers and then a bird boy hand threw a few marks, all were picked up clean. I did not show her the bumper or the winger close up before I started...

A little background---- a month ago I wing clipped chuckers for my 5 month old BLF and when she flushed them I shot a shotgun primer as the bird flushed and let her capture the bird. She had great...

Thanks for the input---I have a second adult lab in the house so the puppy is socialized with other dogs, plus she has been socialized with a bunch of other labs and bird dogs. I was a little...

I have a 6 month old BFL. She was spayed last week and had her on a leash walk. A miniature white dog run out of a house barking wildly, my pup went into full escape mode. After I got her home she...

I am going through the same painful situation. Here is a picture of my 13 year olds last duck hunt this fall. Vanderbilt's Hy Test MH call name Tess. I figured she has retrieved 800 plus ducks in her...
