My 9 mo. pup hunted teal earlier and this was his first weekend of regular season. Second day my friend brought Gunner's sister and we hunted both. It was her first duck hunt ever. It was probably the most fulfilling hunt I've had. Watching both play, hunt, and honor each other was priceless. No lost birds in two days. Hoping and looking forward to many good years ahead.

Congrats on a great start. My dogs first hunt is Saturday I'm hoping for the same result.

Awesome!!!! I remember taking Drake on his first duck hunt...very very rewarding.

Good looking dogs

Beautiful profile! What is her breeding? What kennel is she out of?

He is the son of my male, Ajax who is eleven now. We did AI last fall with my friend's 2 year old English female. 7 pups. Father, Ajax, on the right, son, Gunner in middle and my 13 yo American female on left.

To my eye, that is what a Lab should look like! Keep me in mind if there is another breeding, I would want a black dog.

Not sure if will be another but if there is I will let you know.
I would warn you they are very high strung😎Not!

I did obedience trials, and hunt tests for years. Judged some hunt tests and Field Trials, and was the Pres of the Lake Champlain Ret Club for a time in the 90s. I breed a few litters of english type, working dogs. I loved the easy going house dogs, that lit up for the field. Never were going to win any field trials with them, but great hunting and companion dogs. Been without for about 10yrs now, and really miss them, but I also like coming and going with no concern but for me. We travel a lot, and kids each have dogs, but they are not well trained or do they work at all.

That's great. Well done. I'm looking forward to getting my pup out for new experiences on a couple weeks

I never know which is worse: the sorrow when you hit the bird, or the shame when you miss.
