It's really fun being part of the board, and I hope that you enjoy it to. I just got a puppy three weeks ago( or is it four? I have been forgetting the days with this new puppy, I have to keep a constant eye on him, he is a handfull, but worth it!), and he is a love. His name is Finny, and he is a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriver. What is your puppy's name going to be? Congratulations!</STRONG>
Well, I haven't been able to sleep that much just thinking about bring my boy home. His name is going to be Jed for short. I can't wait to get him in the field to flush out birds. There will be so much to do with Jed that I know that I will have my hands full also. I had to get rid of my Cocker Spaniel and have been really sad over that and so I know that he will not replace her it will give me a chance to have another great companion as I did with my other dog. I have never heard of a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever before. I will have to do some research to find out more about the breed because it interests me so much. Have you trained your dog to retrieve ducks and if you did how hard was it and how long did it take for him to learn it? This is a new experience for me so I am sure that I will make some mistakes but will do my best. I see that you are from PA and so am I. I don't think that you are really all the far from me at all. I am in Clearfield County. I will visit your web site and if you can give me any advise please feel to message me. Thank you for making me feel welcomed into pet talk.
