Home Forums Birds & Dogs Hunting Dogs My new pup, Nitro

This is the pup I kept from my litter, Nitro, "Zodiaks Crystal Afterburner" just turned 4 mnths
He has been pointing well & we started some retrieving work, just fun stuff, no "real" or formal training and he is showing a lot of natural ability here as well as in the field. I was doing pile work (work for blind retrieves & polishing) yesterday with my older dogs & for giggles decided to see if Nitro truly is figuring out the back command - this is what I use to release for a retrieve. To my great surprise, he did it! Right to the bucket & pile, retrieved straight to had 4 consecutive tomes, no dropping or playing all on his own.
We ended our session here so as not to bore him, but I am SO pleased with this pup!! Think this boy will make a good waterfowl as well as upland dog. (:

Nice work.....looks like you have a real natural on your hands!!

Great name too, Nitro
