Well after almost 2 years it is time to add a new hunting partner. I will be picking up this little guy the end of the month. Been a long-time sense I have had to train a hunting dog but I am looking forward to it. The goal with this one will be the same as with all my dogs, a family dog that goes hunting. I did a little bit of the field trial thing with a prior dog but am not looking for that level of perfection anymore. Just needs to be steady and pick up birds. I will get him whistle trained and working blinds but honestly, the way I hunt, it is not really needed. 90% of the time, he will just be jumping out of the tender boat to pick up dead birds around the layouts. I could do it just as easy with a net, but it is not near as fun. Also thinking about getting in a lease in Missouri for next year, so he may get some field work (primary reason for getting in the lease 
)
He has solid but not outstanding bloodlines. The mom is an English Lab and the dad is an American, so I am rolling the dice on what the drive level will be. But that is true with any pup.
