New pup - Getting everything right
Posted: Wed 10 Nov 2004 4:53 pmGuys and Gals,
Finally after an agonising 18 month wait, my Brittany pup is finally on the ground and growing bigger every day. She's just 3 weeks at the moment but I'm already planning her career, in my mind we've already staunchly pointed a hundred quail, retrieved quite a few ducks, her Australian conformation title is in the bag and we're working on the trialling!
But seriously, any suggestions on getting her started right? The Brit in the backyard has already taught me that this breed needs to be treated with absolute kid gloves. What "games" do you play with your pup to get them up and away on the right steps, before the "real" training begins?
Cheers...
