    MAC - An Update

    Aye Mates,


    "MAC" will officially turn 6 months old on 8/22/18 and is now weighing in at a wee bit o'er 60 lbs. Well socialized to both humans and other dogs, he is coming along nicely with training. MAC is bird crazy, gunfire conditioned, swims like an otter, and is coming along very nicely with foundational obedience. MAC is marking well and is doing really nice single retrieves on the water. Today was MAC'S first day tethered on the training table and we started formal "HOLD" conditioning today. A tad resistant at first, he was holding a paint roller quite nicely by the end o' the first short and sweet session. I have started him wearing his e-collar during field training but it has not yet been turned on until he pretty much forgets he's even wearing it - (no need to make him collar wise right out o' the gate). MAC is an intelligent and nicely dispositioned retriever pup and a dapper looker to boot. The lad has had lot's o' exposure training to many differing environs and seems quite comfortable no matter where he goes. MAC is a nice gun dog prospect and we'll keep him moving in the right direction on his journey to becoming a highly competent retriever.👍

    Cheers,
    THE DOG WHISTLER 🍀🇮🇪🇺🇸

    Barry,
    MAC is filling out nicely - very solid / muscular. 👍

    He certainly has that "smart" look about him. I can't believe he's 6 months already.

    SunDance,
    MAC is surely intelligent, very well socialized, increasingly affectionate, and particularly BOLD. I am staying on top o' this wee lad as one needs to do with a retriever of his demeanor. This will pay huge dividends specific to him achieving his potentiality as a gun dog and hunt test K9 athlete.👍

    Cheers,
