rascal72 Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Called on a perm tonight to try and get Evin his first retrieve and boy did he impress We got there and straightaway the duck were flighting up and down the river we positioned ourselves on a corner of the feild where two rivers meet and up came the ducks Bang down goes the first but straight into the fast current the dog didnt even see it one lost Over comes another couple the dog watching intently Bang Bang down comes another this one the dog sees and without hessitation is in the river a good 25 yd swim and he picks his first ever duck his first ever water retrieve come to think of it his first ever retrieve (other than dummies in training) A short time passed then in come a couple more Bang down goes another and off Evin goes again very quick retrieve this time from about 30 yds in the river well done lad big treats and wait for more A little while later and Bang Bang down comes another this time going through the bottom of the trees on the far bank away goes the dog and back he comes with the duck in mouth The last one was an easy pick from the edge of the field but was still flapping another first for Evin the boy done me proud 15 months old from a rescue centre and ive had him only 4 months which I think makes this even more impressive A big well done to Evin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rascal72 Posted September 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Picture posted on talk from the field under Over the moon Took a while to find him and was lucky with him but when I got him someone else had already taken him back because they couldnt handle him, he still has his moments but very few and far between, taking longer to train than a pup would but only to be expected needs to steady up and direction training then he'll be reet get some experience this season then just keep him going through the off season to get him right for next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
