I'm glad that people haven't ripped on my choice. I already placed the deposit and am beyond excited. The breeder has a Facebook page D&L retrievers and just posted a whole bunch of pics. Damn are they cute. I'm sure hoping their cuteness offsets how much of a PIA she will be hahah.
Kinda bummed about my pick slot but I am fourth in line for females out of five. So I will be able to pick between the last two females. Driving up to Arkansas on November 3rd I'm stupid excited.
Any tips for waterfowl training methods? I know the old go to was waterdog but everything I have read is that it's outdated.
I'm looking at stawski's fowl dogs and some of Mike Larry's stuff
Any guidance??

Don't worry about the pick order. Some of the best dogs I have been around were leftover or last picks. Dogs change so much after they leave the litter. Expose your pup to a lot of different experiences slowly. Enjoy your pup. Have fun and let your dog grow. Don't be in a rush. Your dog should be there for 10 plus years and the best of those years start at 3. Too many pups are rushed and not allowed to be pups. Young dog training should be more positive and be about bonding and "learning to learn". Hard to beat Bill Hillman for young dog incite and Mike Lardy for overall training.

pics are usually the most aggressive and harder to train if you have time they may become champs - DONT pick your pup- play with all your choices and take the one that picks you- just like people dogs like some people better than others - this dog will train easier - and be a more loving pet

Disclaimer: it is going to be harder to train her this way, but in the end it is worth it imo

I recently bought Danny Farmer and Judy Aycock's "Retriever Training Basics" and "Problems and Solutions" DVDs. I don't think there are many videos out there that do a much better job of explaining each step. My lab is 4 years old and pretty much a finished product, so I tend to mostly use the problems and solutions video to correct bad habits. I have used the basic training DVD, though, to help some family with training their new puppies. I know there are many training videos, books, and techniques out there, but I really found these DVDs helpful.
