Finally got a retriever....maybe
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've been holding out for a male chessie for some time now, but a couple days ago I got an offer I couldn't[actually the girlfriend wouldn't allow me to] refuse.An 8 mo. old black lab x female with a great disposition and very active. Her former owner never hunted, so I'm not sure if I can get her trained up for retrieving.She is, however, a very quick learner. She is showing a huge improvement in obedience and leash handling in just a few days.Also very quickly learning the meanings of "wait","go", and "give". With any luck, I'll have 2 new hunting partners in 2 yr.,first the girfriend[this year] and the lab next year.
