New RTF member and retriever owner!

What is your thoughts on show vs field, British vs American retrievers and using an e collar? Might as well hit them all and get it over with...

I prefer the British field dog and American show, I use a cattle prod and clicker.I dont force fetch, I force break.

I dont like hunt test's because there is no competition ,I dont like field trial's because the Pro's wont let me win.

I use Evan Lardy's Smart Total Retriever Trainer program sometimes, but only when I want to and use a lower case t drill that I designed.

Don't pay attention to these dorks. They just have the winter crazys.

I've been doing a little squirrel hunting to help with the winter crazies. Good way to get the pup introduced to the outdoors!

You'll get along fine here.

Definitely join a club and don't be deterred, everyone has to start at zero experience. And you couldn't have picked a better breed of hunting dog .

Except Mark goes both ways..... (meaning goldens and labs), because I've seen him run a lab.
