Thanks Jerry, I've been putting off having her snake trained with the medical stuff in the past 4-5 mos, but now there's no excuse. She's about 100% physically now and I worry about the snakes even at the range.
Tw,
I've been pretty conscientious about the heat and water for her in no small part due to all of the members that have been so good as to help out with my learning about dogs everytime I've asked. The fact is, I started asking about hunting dogs here about 2 years ago and took into consideration all of the input members contributed. I picked a lab because of the input about their warm disposition and their natural abilities needing less technical assistance, me being pretty much totally ignorant of dog training/handling. I gotta say, this has been a great experience for me and I have many of you to thank.
