HI! I am jumping over from the Kuvasz section as we just purchased a female black lab to be my son's hunting companion, she is 8 weeks old. Does anyone have any training tips? (for hunting)

Here are some links to Bird Dog Schools. Depending on where you live, one may suit you.

Congratulation s on your new puppy! I'm a Dober-girl since childhood and my husband introduced me to Labs, and our home will never be complete without one now!
-
I don't know too much about Labs other than, from what I have seen, they are more obediant than my guys...lol...B ut, I would highly recommend that you POST SOME PICS!!! ;D & congrats on your new baby! :)
-
LOL! The pic's we posted were of course under the Kuvasz section under MAX, however her name is Shadow and here are a few pic's! PS thanks for the info of training. I will look at the schools, but do prefer to train myself so we shall see what is offfered around here.

She is adorable and it looks like your son is just in heaven!!!!
-
is she a purebred?
-
She is so cute. Have you ever had a lab before.
-
She is really precious, and the look on your son's face is priceless. Good luck with the training, and please keep posting adorable pictures.

Soooooo Cute :-* Does she still have puppy breath? :D
-
LOL! Yes she still has puppy breath, we had a lab / rottie cross for 8 years she was my son's dog and she died last yaer. Yes she is purebred, very smart girl. 8 weeks old. no accidents yet. I thought of using the crate at night but he rescued her and takes her out when she wakes to go . She whines when she needs to go outside. Last night I checked her every few hours, she sleeps with my son on his pillow, she slept 5 1/2 hours before having to go outside. I am trying to get an average of hours slept so I know how long I can sleep before taking her out. I don't want my son up alot on school nights. SHe gets food and water picked up at 6pm right. Things are going well. Posting some more pic's. A few were already posted to Kuvasz pic's a few are new.
-
Here are the new ones and an older pic of beauty aidan and shady lady, that was Anthony's dog who passed. Well I cannot pull up the new ones we took for editing. Weird....It is harder with Black dogs to get good pic's!
-
Thanks for the link EastJenn I will definately be looking into it.

Very adorable new lab puppy!!! Yay!!! I am using the same technique with Mokey and housebreaking at night, she sleeps in the bed and somehow I miraculously wake up at intervals in the night and take her outside to pee. It is getting much better now and she can sleep 6 hours straight!! Woohoo! Now that she is 12 weeks I am getting much more rest! :D
Good luck with the hunting! How nice to be able to give a purebred dog the job they were intended for! I don't even know where to start with my mutts!!! ;D

LOL! We live on 160 acres in NorthernMinnes ota and on our property are quite a few ponds that ducks and geese frequent, not to mention there are many grouse. My son has been in "Gun safety" training for a few years and hunts with my husband, did hunt smaller things with Shady lady, that was another post as well, but now wants to do some serious bird hunting so we are going to give him every opportunity and all teh help in training her and training him!
