I had a very good pup from 7 weeks old , sent her off at 10 months for schooling and she was gone nearly 5 months! Lucky it was a favour He came back and was useless, it took another 12 months of tearing what’s left of my hair out before he come to, however if I was hard on him he would run off...

I’ve not trained a dog before, send our pups away I’ve 2 bitch pups now sent off to a good and well recommended trainer, he phoned the other day and said sorry they just won’t work, no interest at all Strange as I had a battle to stop both of them diving under a gate and chasing sheep Anyway...
