PhilR Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Well it's been almost a week in the Milo household. He's given us a couple of sleepless nights grizzling because he took time to settle into his new home. He's ok now though and has been left home alone for a few hours too without drama.He doesn't beg food from the table, you just get the baleful labrador look. He travels well in both vehicles but gets grizzly if left, I expect he'll get used to it the same as he did sleeping.He's been round the shoot with me, doesn't like the cows in the barns and isn't bothered by the sheep which is fortunate.We've done some training sitting and staying, walking to heel, recall to whistle and using a dummy for steadiness and retrieves. All in all Mary and I are very happy dog owners and I think he's happy too, he won't want for love, kindness or money being spent on him.

Needs a bit of slimming down but diet and exercise will do that and that goes for me too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

felly100 Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 I'm just getting feelers out for a future stud dog. Ours may be closely related anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilR Posted December 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 We met up with my pals and their dogs at the clay shoot today. Had a wander around the car park and a footpath that runs behind the ranges about 20m away and separated by elephant grass, Milo was totally unperturbed by the shooting so we ventured closer and he was still fine so that's another tick in the box. He was fussed over by everyone and he forgot all his sit and stay training. Afterwards we went to the farm for a good run and his memory came back and he did well with whistle recall, sitting and staying and walking to heel. He's had an action packed week and is now gently snoring under our feet. We're totally shattered and wonder what next week will hold for us.
