I keep 3 white bumpers and 2 dokkens on a wooden plant stand by the side door. The other evening the wife and i were on the front porch. Trap kept buggin me to keep throwing a skin of what was left of a squeaky toy. He likes to pull the stuffing out of them. I hot tired of it only going a few feet, so i said to him," hey, why don't you go get one of your duckys and I'll throw that for you" .
He looked at me for a second like he was processing what i said. He took off around the house, and the wife said this is gonna be interesting. He came back around with a dokken. Now he had a choice of bumpers or dokkens.
Wife just shook her head and said He is just too smart.
Did he really know a ducky from a bumper? when we train i do refer to them by name. I would like to believe he does. Will i do that again? Probably not. I want to think he is that smart! !!!!

Believe me. His intelligence scares me sometimes. We are waiting for him to start talking. He carries groceries in the house, i leave gatoraide out and ask him to get me one, that really shocked the neighbors one evening.
We are heading to town right now. Lowes is the first stop.
Pics in a bit.

Can't believe I have missed this thread! Yep, Trap is good PEOPLE! I have had the pleasure of meeting him. Can't wait to hunt some waterfowl with him this fall... No doubt having Trap around will sure make it easier for me to put up with his owner!!! LOL Just joshin' you Splatt! Trap is a truly amazing!

I have had my mind made up for a while that I was going to pick a Brittany pup out of the next litter at Otter Creek but, seeing all these pics of Trap are really making me want another Lab.  I think you've got yourself a once in a lifetime dog there Splat.

Ingwe,
Was over at the neighbors a bit ago and the wife's sister has a chocolate female, 1 year old.
She says she is a hyper, chewing monster, that doesn't listen.
I brought trap over.
Now she wants to train her dog! !!
Now, remember what you said about challenging trap's intelligence?
In front of about 10 people, i asked trap to go home and get me a bumper.
I have a huge head now!
He took off around their house, across the yards to the side door, and came back with a bumper. We walked over and showed the sister the assortment of bumpers and duckys, so she could see he had a choice of what to get.
She was just amazed at how smart he is.
So it wasn't a fluke the other day.
He is now about 20 months old.
I pray, he and i have alot of years to go together.
I just wished i had the knowledge to bring out everything he is capable of.

I know dogs are supposed to be color blind, but Duchess will get either her blue ball or her red ball, whichever I request. I'm not surprised your Lab can do almost as well.

True story and I kid you not:
My yellow was out dove hunting with me and a buddy the other day. Well, after a few rounds of shooting he ran off.... Sucked.. When we found out him , kid you not... He was holding a dove in his mouth that someone else had killed and was close to the guys who were doing more shooting/killing than I was. Guess my shooting skills arent up to par!

Hmmm..... Questionable loyalty. .. What happened to thru good times and bad? Oh wait.... That's with the wife. Okay, its stinking hot here, but I'll take trap down to the river in a bit. I gotta scout out a spot for a blind i made out of pvc tubing. Think this will work? still have some final things to do, but i wanted a low front so trap can see and i have to make a slit for him to get out thru. ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v631/splattermatic/908a37e4.jpg)
