Thanks everyone for all the great info. Cessna - all that I am looking for is basic obedience and retreiving skills. I am a big deer hunter & have just recently started getting into waterfowl hunting and it just so happened that we got a Lab this past summer (did not intentionally get the dog for hunting purposes). Huntnteen - she is only 4 months old and sit, stay & retreive the paper in the morning is all that she currently knows (still working hard on the house training!). Thanks again for all of your help!
