That dog is a baby............Let him be one.. Don't put pressure on the pup it is not worth it. Let him develope a love of the bird. Teach him his name and to come when called. If not you can create problems that will take some one like Jonesy to fix.......Why does every one have to have 9 month pup that will do it all? You would not give your 2 year old a 20 ga and expect them to kill birds would u? Just my thought [/align]Casey[/align]
