Update: Archer did great during teal season. Was the best behaved dog in the blind out of 3, and is a quick learner. Taking him to an HRC test soon to get a feel for what others are doing to prepare their dogs. But we are doing multiple marks in cover and water. Short cold blinds, and have started doing long T drills out to 100 yrds. He has a feel for feathers and brings back my wing wrapped bumpers first in a pile. Hunts in cover with his nose and uses the wind to help. He's 100% with gun fire, decoys and terrain. Bought a Mud River 9mm neoprene vest for warmth in the winter. Gonna be a great dog.

I believe that this is a practical world and that I can count only on what I earn. Therefore I believe in work, hard work. -George Petrie (1945)
