Thanks Don. We are doing great. Muddy is doing really well. She has sit/stay/come fairly well (understands the commands doesn't always listen, typical kid!!) and she loves to retrieve. She is a water dog. She heads for the pond every time she goes outside.
Its as I expected. She will far exceed my training ability. I will try to get a few better pictures posted to your blog. We're pretty proud of her.
Thanks, BP
