I just thought I would send you a quick update on Flint. Housebreaking went really well and it was only a matter of a few weeks before Flint was asking to go out. Training is going well. He will sit, stay, lie down and we are working on fetch and drop.....he loves to retrieve. Out walking we are working on heel, which he generally does. His favourite form of exercise of course is the water, he just loves it and will now retrieve in the water. I am still keen to further his training at obedience class so if you could let me know when your class starts that would be great.
Everywhere we take Flint people are stopping me and asking where I got him from because of how 'beautiful' he looks. It's not just his looks, his temperament is great too. We had some friends over for supper and they have a 3-year old son and Flint was fantastic with him even letting him put his hand in to his mouth to take the ball out. My children are 14 and 12 so he is not used to having small children around which makes it more remarkable.
Another Doindogs labrador lives next door, Molly, who Flint loves to swim with. Molly was the reason we chose to get a lab as she is such a great dog too.
Flint is a real family puppy, he has fit in so well and forms a huge part of our family. He is a real credit to you at Doindogs.
Hope you like photos.
