Questions, tips, thoughts on training & working with dogs

Well, I'm not getting that springer spaniel! I got a call from the dog shelter and they said they had my pups! I went over and sure enough there they we waiting for me to pick them up.
They had been there a week! I had been checking the shelter website but they had them as a lab mix!! How you think they are a lab mix I have no idea!! The bill was almost 400 bucks, after having a little bit of a debate with the lady I got them out of jail for 215.
So, back to the trainning with the guys!!
Thanks for all you guys help and I'm still thinking of adding a springer to the family but it will be down the road.
Tomorrow me the wife and the pups are going for a outing on the river.

That is great news.  I couldn't get it out of my mind worrying about them starving out in the desert, getting hit, etc. It's worth the $215 for the peace of mind you probably now have. I would have been worried sick even if they weren't my favorite hunting dog. I know, I'm just a softy, but I bet you are too. Bet their colors will be on now all the time.  Leaky and the Sparkinator

Haha, you make me chuckle. Up and down... Make sure you put some bars on the kennel so they dont get out again!

Yeah I'm pumped I go them back! I also had fun argueing with the little girl about why I shouldn't need a license to own a dog!! That is insane, I guess we'll need a license to have a kid soon huh!!
I'm closing in my deck this weekend, in the rain! So unless they are able to chew through 2x4's in 8 hours they aren't going anywhere!

I wouldn't put that past a dog, i had an old lab chew through some steel airline cable that he was tied down with, only took 5 to 6 hours for that magic to happen. glad you got your dogs back though, good luck!

So HogHunter got his dog back? I think I hear a guitar and banjo in the background. This is a country song about to happen!
I didn't go to catch fish. I went to go fishing. Understanding the difference feeds the soul.
