Hi Jim, I hope I am posting this in the correct place. My name is nick and I’m from Bellingham, Washington. I’ve had my field bred black lab Nolie for 2 weeks - making her nine weeks old. I would like to develop a good foundation for her to be a finished gun dog. I’d like to focus on bonding, beginning retrieves, building desire, bird introduction, and some intro water work. She will be the first dog I’ve trained. Bon voyage!
