ive a two year old dog and he,s a cracking worker lots of drive but like someones said let them be pups and install the basics.break em to stock young as well. mine will work of pegg and also beat but needs controling as he,s strong headed. good finder sometimes a little fast and love retrieveing. got him as a rescue last year as he,s had four homes since birth but would be worth over a grand now looking at the price some gundog trainers now charge.he,s not for sale though.id have another if the chance comes.
