Here's our newest family addition. Her name is Olive and she's an English labrador retriever. She is currently 9.5 weeks old and full of energy. I thought this was a cute photo and I wanted to share.
Labs are such great dogs, in the US they are used mostly as waterfowl retrievers, but I've also seen them trained to point, and trained to trail blood. Regardless of their training, they love their owners and aim to please. It is such a great thing to see how a dog and a hunter team together, using each other's gifts and strengths to do what neither could do on their own. It is to me, one of the great things in life.
Thanks everyone. She is a bundle of joy. I trained my current lab, Bruiser, to blood trail deer and I'm hoping he will teach her a thing or two. He comes in very handy during archery season. I get calls from all around for his services.
