    Murphys dad is a working gun dog but his mum was just a pet. Iv been hoping he would show some signs of wanting to retrieve but in the coming up to 3 weeks we've had him he's never done anything of the sort until just now. We've just done 4 retrieves in the garden. However the only issue was getting the toy we were using back off of him!
    I'm just happy because I was hoping he would show some retrieving behaviour that I can work on with him just for the purpose of playing with him and him having to use his brain and having fun.

    That's good news! Sure you'll start to have lots of fun with him, once he starts to get the hang of it. ;D

    They are quite bright dogs and I'm sure he'll catch on really quickly. 8)

    That's great! :D It's certainly a fun skill to build up with your dog :)
