Thanks for the responses.

AM - you've nailed into my dilemna. My PP is from Cedarwoods, so JGHV testing is not an option. Given that, I'm trying to decide which approach would be better for my situation. I am trying to decide if it would be better to use one command out of ease and possibly less confusion to dog ("Fetch", "Good boy", "Here", "Hold", etc...); but at the same time am wondering if using two commands would enable me to address the specific issue for correction at anytime more precisely, whether it were a fetch issue or a hold issue.

I have another week or so solidifying him up on heel. We're just about to start without a lead, so keep the comments coming.

I'm really hoping I can get him through FF by the spring so that most of the summer can be spent getting into the fun stuff.

Thanks again,
