Everyone meet Dixie

[MarkV]

Well after the thread looking for help picking between a Boykin or lab I was given a contact from GClyde and ended up finding a lab pup. She is 8 months old and my project to try to train into a good duck dog. This is my first time to train one but she has it in her blood to be good. The dad is Rody Best's from Best Retrievers dog blue who has 54 MH passes and 5 MNH passes and in master hunter hall of fame and mom is from Muddy Oak retrievers Mocha and has her JH title and working on SH title soon. Dixie will be smaller frame, which I wanted, and only 55lbs full grown.

Any tips or pointers on training are much appreciated! [emoji6][emoji1]

Read "Water Dog" by Richard Wolters. I have trained several using his methods.

One of the best labs I've ever been around/hunted with was a small framed female named Dixie.

same size and look as my old chocolate lab, pretty girl
as for training, get the obedience training down pat ,then let those natural instincts and ability go to work. good luck and have fun!

Don't mean to hijack, but I've seen several people refer this book. Looks like it's about $18 on Amazon. I also have a young pup I'd like to train, mostly just common obedience commands. Would this book be useful, even if I'm not really sure if I want to make him a hunting dog? Thanks in advance.

OP, that's a good looking pup, good luck with your training!

Try YouTube. It's free, and a good place to start.
