Thread: Deer dog

This is the best Lab bitch I have had. Perhaps because I took more time to let her learn things at he own pace.

I was always a bit of a disciplinarian in the old days and I think some of my dogs never achieved what they could have done because of that.

They did what I wanted sure enough but if they were allowed to think their way through a problem they learn to do it better.

This bitch will retrieve a dead duck, but while she is, if we drop a woundy she will put the dead one down and catch the woundy.Then take the woundy back to the dead duck and pick them both up and bring them both in.

I think my other bitches were too anxious to please the boss. I have seen dogs have mental breakdowns because some owners are at them all the time and they never have time just to be dogs.
