You are doing a marvelous job - I always was training at most 1 or 2 pups at a time. One of the best trainers I ever new, who may have had as many as 10-12 Labs or Chessies at a time, always believed in socializing pups (as early as 7-weeks) by taking them places in vehicles and doing regular non-hunting activities with them. I always emulated that and would even take mine to the barbershop, where they would snooze at my feet while I got my hair cut. When I looked at your 'team', I thought how in the hell, could he take them out and about? I bet any little excursion you took with that crowd would be entertaining to say the least, so I hope you keep your video camera handy. I am really impressed.

BTW, just add a few 4-5-6 year old kids to the mix and it would be something to see:)

If you cherish your memories with kids, be a good role model . . . . so the RIGHT memories of you mean something to them.
