FloatnFly Posted June 25, 2015 Report Posted June 25, 2015 Picked him up a couple of weeks ago, 17 weeks old now, Border Collie/Retriever Cross
Sterling Posted June 25, 2015 Report Posted June 25, 2015 Gorgeous dog. Probably smart enough to hold a rod too, since he's part collie.
AKRISONER Posted June 25, 2015 Report Posted June 25, 2015 hope you like walks, cause hes gonna want them a lot. He is also gonna be too smart for his own good while hes a pup.

aplumma Posted June 25, 2015 Report Posted June 25, 2015 Glad to see you got a buddy to show you how to fish. lol Art
bow slayer Posted June 25, 2015 Report Posted June 25, 2015 well if enough of the retriever in him comes out have fun keeping him out of the water. If my golden gets anywhere near it she is in it including diving out of the boat when pulling up to shore and sometimes out in the middle of the lake. She even cliff dives with the kids.
FloatnFly Posted June 25, 2015 Author Report Posted June 25, 2015 Thanks all, he is way too smart for his own good right now, everything is a game to him right now. Just need him to stop peeing on the floor and make a noise or something when he needs to go pee lol

That is awesome! Had him at Whitby beach last night for a walk, he was curious about the crashing waves, but didn't venture in
icedude Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 Congratulations on your new Buddy--what's his name? Looks like you got a friend-for-life FF Paul
aplumma Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 I have a jingle bell on a strap on my door and that is how my dog tells me it is time to go out. Fix a 1 inch or so bell small strap so it can be poked with his nose and ring and before you take him out ring the bell and then open the door and say good boy go pee or what ever you want to say.. After he pees give him a treat and bring him back in without any playing or wandering. If you want to go outside to play or anything else do not ring the bell just open the door and give him a different phrase. As time goes on he might pick up the habit of using the bell to alert you to other things like the food bowl is empty he wants a treat etc. it is a small price to pay for no scratches on the door and walls or worse missed trips to pee outside.
