Difference between my forced fetched dog and my non is my non force fetched will drop ducks about 3 ft away from. My forced fetched will return to heel and not moved until told to release

FF can take up to a month depending upon the dog and making sure it's done correctly.

IMO FF is THE most important part of the foundation for a retriever. THere are many varying opinions on FF from those that don't know what it's all about. For the unknowing observer FF seems barbaric and cruel. However it teaches the dog so much. The handler is the boss, hold until told otherwise, pick the bird up and come back, NO exceptions.

You can train a dog without FF, but it is a very helpful tool in making a better dog.
