How is Uno coming along Des?

Uno's breeder, Fleming Jorgensen, told Roy that he could expect to have his hands full if he didn't start training Uno while a youngster and that is exactly what Roy has done. At a trial recently I took Uno over to show him to somebody and some random person, not even talking to me, told their dog to sit. This is Uno's drop command and he threw, no other satisfactory word, himself to the ground. Not only did he drop like a sack of spuds he was quite relaxed about it and sat there looking round himself and not showing the slightest intention of moving. All his other commands are obeyed in a similar way but the big secret is that he's a really happy dog though Roy feels he is very submissive.
In effect this dog, at twelve months old, is fully trained and Roy now wants to build his pace up. He has been worked extensively in fields with only the odd excursion on heather and Roy feels that all he now needs is more opportunities to find in heather to build up ahead of steam.
