No they definitely won't use force fetching, positive methods only. You might have to try back chaining the retrieve though if he's been allowed to...
I would say 5 months is a bit young for formal retrieve training. Really you want to start with the foundations first, at about 6 months old eg -...
No I haven't taken any of the tests with ber, but have used my own judgement - the manuals are that good that you will know when the dog is ready for...
Well I registered Isla with the Gundog Club, but rather than train with them I've bought the manuals and trained Isla myself! :D I have to say they...
Ok scratch that, the scanner's not playing tonight! :roll: It will only let me scan and then print, rather that save to the PC. If you want to PM...
She's lovely, definitely all Collie - whichever one! :lol: I have to say though, her colouring does remind me a bit of an Australian Shepherd...
My Sisters Bichon is left for about 4 hours a day and he's ok, but he does mess in the house a little bit still - a sign of anxiety I think. Or...

OMG that looks horendous! :evil: Why would you need to do that anyway? Any well bred retriever will happily retieve anything, if it doesn't then...

Don't suppose you have a decent pic of a clipped Maltese? Can't find any good ones on the net! :roll:
It's hard to say really! What I would say is ask your future breeder what her dogs are like and that might give you some indication. I personally...
All so very true! The yapping drives me nuts!!!!:smt043 I would say one thing though, my Sisters Bichon Harvey, is one of those Bichons that is...
They may well do, but the breed standard asks for approximate height of 51cms/20". Therefore the ideal is just that, with some leeway given to those...
An adult Springer Spaniel (English that is!) should be 20 inches at the shoulder. Bitches are allowed to be slightly less. How old is your...
In all honesty hun, I'd stick with a Collie for now. IME GSDs are only for very experienced of dog owners/breeders. I have been bitten by one and...
[IMG] I've seen this pic before, but eveytime i see I have to stare at if for several minutes as it just seems impossible! :lol: I have to say...
Oh soooo gorgeous! :smt049
