Default Started Chocolate Lab - MN

$1600

21 months

3 months training last summer by a pro
  • force fetch
  • marks, water work
  • handling - stops on whistle, takes hand signals, working on extending distance of force/blind retrieves

Friendly and excitable with people. Barks at the doorbell, trained to go to place board when people arrive (still a work in progress). Is great with the neighbors dog and our retired lab, but not so great with other dogs.

I hunt with a group with multiple dogs and participate in many multi-dog activities with my retriever club. This is not the dog for me. Great dog for one-dog hunter or group.
