I'm starting this 4 month old pup with the rifle test today. It should be fine, since I got him we've been using a starter pistol.
Wish us luck!

Rifle Test...??? I have been training Labs since '65 and am a bit perplexed <img src=icon_smile_blush.gif border=0 align=middle> Starter pistols are all I use until the time comes to train the dog w/pigeons. Then I "gun" the pigeon with a shotgun to simulate the "real hunt". You may be saying you are introducing the dog to "live report" long-gun, gunfire maybe? Please fill me in on this...thx!
