Abigail

Welcome Abby!

ya killed her already!?


she's gorgeous sactoller, congrats sir!

I was hoping to see something like this when I logged on this morning!

This is THE BEST!

Congrats! I love the name and the duck toy


Mannnnn...if they only knew the hopes and dreams that rested on their little shoulders!

Congrats. Good times on the way.

Yea!
So glad it all went well. She is a cutie.
Keep us updated as she progresses in life.
Im doing my thread kinda like that. Its kinda neet to see trap now, after just 3 months of having him, with how he has gone from a skittish young dog, to greeting people, and blending into the family.

All the best and enjoy her.

Hot damn!!!!!!

Abigail is a looker for sure!

Fording the mighty river!

A lot of intelligence lurking behind those eyes! Gorgeous!

Cool Pics! Keep 'em coming!

She looks miserable in her new home

She is a mighty cute pup. Is she a hunting dog??

L.W.

Thanks, yes she is a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever.

Here is a photo of her predecessor.

She sure has some beautiful eyes!

Boy, I thought that Maggie was smart, this one is wicked smart! I think I am in trouble!

The smart ones are easy to train....long as you stay smarter!

I'm Doooomed!

Great looking pup!

Keep 'em coming!

The eyes should turn to Whiskey color in a couple more weeks....

A comparison of Maggie and Abigail at about the same age...10 weeks

Yep. Send Abby back...not cute enough....

Waiting for dad to fill up the truck!

Ingwe is correct -- not nearly cute enough, send her back!

A good friend of mine in Canada has a Nova Scotia Tolling Retriever. I think your dog looks every bit as vicious and ugly as his Toller!

John

She looks like one of those rare dogs that really have the wheels turning in her head....

Hell of a good looking pup on several levels.

she looks like she is up to something. watch out:)

Right after first bath!

The blue eyes are fading....

If I had that puppy, I would be walking it all around the town.

Even a guy that looks like me could pick up a hot Swedish chick with a puppy that cute...

John

I know, but they look to be a cool looking amber color.

Trying, just not many Swedish women around!

Yep! I'm still a sucker for that puppy!

A bundle of endless curiosity!

DANG!!! I wish you would quit this!

I have too many dogs already but I probably need...........


uhu...and intervention.

You're like a pusher to an addict.

Well, this one is a smart one. Today, I have had her two weeks, headed out to the deer lease with a friend and left her home. She had the run of the kitchen, doggie door and backyard. After being gone 6 hours, she had no accidents and is using the door on her own!

Luv2,

I am more of an enabler, this should help you!

She is a good traveler!

I'm thinking she has some natural ability!

Too kool for skool!

Keep the pics coming!

One of my students has three tollers....gonna bring them to class when they are in town for a dog show next month!

Great pics.
She is a cute puppy and really smart. Looks like your gonna have a partner for quite some time to share life with.
Left her at home when you went to the deer lease! !!!
Bad dad.....
I find it very hard to go to work without my trap.go to the lake or? without him! !!

Nope.
Take her with everywhere. The bond just gets stronger.

Normally, I would take her to the lease. But she didn't have all her shots, it was hot and we had too much work to get done.

She is with my all the time, at my shop even at the gym!

She is looking more and more like what Dober would call " Model Perfecto"

Looks like I will have a drinking partner, for after the hunts!

"What is this place and what is she doing with that huge needle?"

I took a pic of Rommel on his first official visit to the vet ( I take him in all the time for socialization, saves them, and me alot of greif later) and sent a copy to the breeder and titled it " Rommel's First Vet Visit, and his first bite"

Scared the crap out of them till they found out I put him on a puppy bite sleeve the same day.

Latest pic of my 'baby'.....

Grown into those ears nicely!

I hate to ask this for fear of getting an answer I do not want to hear but how is Ingwedog? 15 years old, if I recall correctly.

Neatest-looking dog, and of course any dog smart enough to do Ingwe's taxes just has to command respect....

John

Ingwedog is remarkably good for 15...still gets around well, is completely deaf and gradually losing her vision, but still has enough to follow hand signals. Still has her character and personality.
Had a scare when she got really sick a couple weeks ago, but she got through it. We shared so much of life together its gonna be a bad day when its over.

Pic from a few years ago..wish we had it to do all over again....

Glad to hear that!

John

Abigail,is going to be a good duck dog for the cold!

Been wondering about Abby....

Just scrolled to the top of the page when I posted that last post...odd timing, within a week of that post, Ingwedog was gone...

If you have half the adventures with Abby that we had, you will be a lucky, lucky man....

I hope to have many years with this mutt!

Had her out at my lease a couple of weeks ago...she is a little gun wary, but I know with time and patience she will be ok.

After a little work and getting her excited about a duck, it finally clicked on what she needed to do!




Hanging out on Dad's bed!


After two long days of play in the wild...a little tuckered!

She is looking good!

Got her out yesterday morning for some duck hunting. I held her and my buddy shot the few birds that came in. Little nervous at the first shots, but seemed to get over it, once the excitement of retrieving the birds kicked in! Though she is still a little hesitant about entering the water.

She is coming along great. Give her some time, she'll be just fine.
Pretty girl!
