My Son's New Black Lab Puppy

[CharlieNY]

Today is opening day of duck season and Gunner got to make his first retrieve on a duck. We are very pleased with him.      valoroutdoors.com

Well here is an update on Gunner. He just turned a year old in January and he grew into a Tank. Today was his first snow goose hunt and he got to retrieve the 3 birds we bagged. One of the birds is a true prize. He is wearing some jewelry! Pic is of my son with his dog Gunner and the prized banded snow goose.

Gunner looks like he is coming along nicely Charlie, he will provide many memories for years to come.

Yes Al he is really coming along. He is super calm in the blind and either sits or lies down in the blind the whole time. He still has some puppy in him but that is to be expected for a 14 month old dog. With time and experience he should become a really great gundog.

Got the info on the banded snow goose. Bird was a male banded on 8-14-2016 Near Pond Inlet in Nunavut, Canada.

Cool info Charlie, that guy had a little age on him, having raised Geese I know they can live quite a long time.

Great looking dog Charlie! Teddi has a white lab.

Charlie this is Teddi's dog Kit. She is 6 years old and a sweetheart. Not a hunting dog but best companion!

Kit is a very pretty girl. I'm sure Teddi misses her dearly and can't wait to see her again. A dog is also a woman's best friend.

Gunner continues to impress us and gets better every day we hunt with him. You can see how happy he was this morning with another snow goose retrieve.

Nothing like seeing a young dog coming on to do what he was bred for, they live for that kind of stuff.
