Im a duck hunting guide on lake Fork Texas and hunt both parents daily. Pups were born Fri May 6th. The father received the HR title at 10 months and is an exceptional retriever. From geese in the field to flooded timber my dogs do it all. And with the right time or training these pups could do the same. See the parents at hansonoutdoors.net or call 903-521-4595 eddhanson@aol.com
