Thread: Deer dog

I have had many Labs all females. They were and are all good on deer and birds. Even handle a medium sized pig by themselves.

Don't ever force them to do anything, make life, hunting, swimming fun and they will naturally pick up what you want them to do.

During the early stages of learning that they are hunting dogs bring in the discipline that a dog needs to hunt successfully with you.

Remember they are animals that are able to hunt in a pack where there own skills need to be subordinate to the needs of others they hunt with and that's you.
