Baylee is all grown up...

She just had her one year birthday last week...she loves it when I bring the ducks home. I just wish I would have had the time to train her. I do plan to work with her in the spring and see what happens. She is pretty smart and very well behaved - I think she'll still catch on pretty quick.

Yeah, I dont know how she sat there so politely for the picture. I mean seriously, even I'd have been sniffin those duck and walking on em an everything else.
Ah, maybe it's just me

Look's like she's waiting for you to turn your back.  Good luck on training a good looking dog.

I let her run around a bit and check the ducks out before I tried to make her sit there for the pic. She is really well behaved after she settles down a bit. I hope to take her on some hunts next year.

Jim, I think you would have been lifting your leg on the corner of that rock pile trying to stake out your territory

Steve, my dogs problem is he's too gun-ho.  No matter how much I try and train he's just too full of it.
If a leaf falls out in front of us, he's going.  I guess that falls back on my OB training but dang, I can only do so much.  I know its my own fault, trying to juggle training, kids, etc etc etc.  Kids usually win out all the time.  I've been thinking of getting him snipped but I really dont like the idea.  I wouldnt do it to myself. 
A good trainer is a great thing, but hell, I cant afford that.  It took my cousins lab a few years to calm down, I'm praying my boy will do the same.

We'll keep working when I can, I dont want an award winner, just a gunner that enjoys a peaceful morning beside me.

I'm in the same boat Vic...kids, family, calls, shows, hunting, etc., etc. It is tough find the time to properly train a dog too. I'm just hoping for a good hunting partner out of her. I'm not looking for a field trial champ or anything. Kepp ya posted on her progress
