<P>When do you introduce the pup to gun fire??? I introduces Sprig to gun fire this morning and he done a great job, except, he wanted to head in the direct of the where the gunfire was echoing off of a woods<IMG src="http://www.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/bawl.gif" align=absMiddle border=0> then we realized that that the gun needed to be pointing in the opposite direction<IMG src="http://www.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/idea.gif" align=absMiddle border=0><IMG src="http://www.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/biggrin.gif" align=absMiddle border=0>. After that He was on the game. he made 6 100 yard retrieves with like he had been doing it all summer<IMG src="http://www.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/thumb.gif" align=absMiddle border=0> Hopefully he will be ready to go on the 1st of September. So back to the question, did I introduce the gun to soon?? and is it possible to rush things? DD</P>
