    Shotgun Rider

    Hello,

    I want to say hello. I've been lurking for a while leading up to getting my puppy last week. Our little guy is now 9-weeks old. His registered name is Windrose Shotgun Rider; but we call him Jake. He comes from fantastic confirmation lines and has pretty good hunting lines as well. I plan to train him as a hunting dog and he will be spoiled inside the house. I'm still deciding between EG's Smartwork and Lardy's programs. For now, I'm introducing the skills from Jackie Mertens' Sound Beginnings DVD and using concepts from this board and a few books for house training. We're also using the ideas from Operation Socialization to get him used to people, places, and things. Lastly, he's enrolled in puppy kindergarten starting next week.

    It's been almost 14 years since we've had a puppy; but I think we're off to a good start. We learned a lot the first time around with our Rottweiler and have many things that we intend to do differently, particularly around socialization. Getting him a week prior to Halloween has provided for some interesting socialization opportunities (done carefully of course).

    Congratulations on your puppy! It's always an exciting time. One of my favorite yellow boys that I see at shows (in the veteran classes now) is from Windrose ("Buster" is the dog's name). Sweet old boy.
