Thanks for the reply Oldtimr. Do you think im going to fast with him, I'll be honest I've only ever worked with terriers and nothing seems to bother them they just know what to do but I want this dog for wildfowling (I think you call it waterfowling over there) he's my first retriever so I definitely don't want to ruin him he is very keen on scent and hunting the ground maybe I should focus on that for a while.
