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. Woop
Re: Yay Murphy has finally started retrieving (sort of) 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
Re: Yay Murphy has finally started retrieving (sort of) They are quite bright dogs and I'm sure he'll catch on really quickly. 8)
Re: Yay Murphy has finally started retrieving (sort of) That's great! It's certainly a fun skill to build up with your dog
