RE: Question on lab ranging
Take her out by "yourself". Sit in a field with low grass so she can see you for a long range. Let her do her thing and she will start to go a little farther every time. She isstill a pup and doesn't want to get lost and not too trusting yet. You are better with a close dog, because she will roam farther on her own when she gets older. Let me know how it works. Should only take a couple times. Flushers are better close anyways. If she was a roamer, take her to a field where there is tall grass, and when she takes off hide!! after she goes peek at her so she doesn't see you and you will see her looking for you when she realizes she is lost. Then stand and call her, this takes a couple more times to get her used to not roaming so far.
