Puppies are Retrieving Handily at 9 Weeks (videos)

[Eric Patterson]

Now that ten puppies have joined their new families we have only two puppies left (1M, 1F). We've been having a good time doing fun bumpers after work each day. These two pups absolutely love it and all signs are they're going to be strong field competitors. Lots of drive and vigor for just nine weeks old. They are reliably retrieving the puppy bumper and bring it right back to me every time. I love it. The two videos below let you see just how much they are becoming little field goldens.

The puppies have had their second round of booster shots and their health is good. I'd really like to place these pups in good homes right away. If you have been thinking about getting a Golden pup give me a call and let's discuss what you are looking for. I am taking the pups to the South Carolina Waterfowl Association Camp Wood Banquet Thursday night in Pinewood SC. If you live along the drive between Huntsville, AL and Pinewood SC I'd be happy to bring a pup to you.

Now that is cool Eric. I like how pup looks off to one side on the way back, like he's a pro at this stuff.

Thanks. I like the one video where he leaps to get the bumper. In slow motion it really looks cool.

If someone had been watching Michelle take the video it would have been hilarious. Caroline was throwing a fit because she wanted to chase the puppy while it was making a retrieve. Michelle and I had to restrain her which is not easy since Caroline is hardheaded. After a dozen attempts we finally got a few that didn't have Caroline screaming her head off in the background. If I put those on the net someone would call child services on us.
