I was given an english setter. He's 8 months old. His name was freckles. I changed it to Fred. Freckles was a little embarrassing for him.
Anyway, he was shy and cowering at first. I have had him for a few months now and he is AWESOME!!!!! He retrieves, points, flushes. I haven't really taught him these things. I've just played games with him to get him over his shyness. He just wants to please me and he is a natural.
I have english pointers, which I love, and german pointer. But, this guy just has a great attitude.
Have you ever just clicked with a dog??
