Well, Grizz is coming along just fine. @ 9 Months he's still pretty much a puppy.
A diet of a a couple of six packs of Hills prescription food then a slow switch to Hills large puppy dry food over a couple of weeks and he's pretty much a normal pup.
The Lab is sure different than any other breed I've worked with.
He's a real buddy, in his own mind. Where ever I am, he is and the closer the better for him.
He has pretty much taken over the patio swing, when I'm not in it, that is.
He's into retrieving, play wise, when ever he's in the mood. He does a pretty stylish stalk on doves and Gambel's quail that hang around the house.
He flushed his first pheasants the other day, two together. He pretty much got into that.
Just about a month and a half from dove season. I don't know that he will be ready for serious retrieving by then though.
