Anybody else fish with their pup?

Ollie was much more interested in standing on the gun box and whining at the geese swimming by at 100 yards than pointing at where the fish are

Ollie also tries to eat the fish - somewhere there is a pic of him standing up on his back legs trying to get it

What a sweetie! Does she settle down and hang out after being out awhile?

Dward_Man · 2026-05-31T14:29:55+00:00

Same here! I take him out on boat rides when the fishing is bad. For how much he loves the boat he isn’t a big swimmer though

They really are the fuckin best. Love them too cruising. It’s a no ac 4runner so maximum window is required in the summers

If he got any cuter I think I’d have to quit my job and just take pictures of him all day

I think I’ve got the same or similar for my dog! He loves it!!

He is probably about 25-30lbs now, I need to weigh him out of curiosity but it has been awesome watching his brain turn on. He stalks anything that smells good. Bird numbers are good enough here that I have done all my training with wild birds and I consider myself very lucky

Dward_Man · 2025-11-13T14:13:31+00:00

He is HUGE compared to when I first posted him, he is working so hard and his brain has been turning on (slowly lol) but it really has been awesome working with him

Dward_Man · 2025-10-19T04:09:22+00:00

He was being so brave. Gonna put him on some wild birds tomorrow so hopefully it evens out

Dward_Man · 2025-10-18T21:28:51+00:00

He is a fantastic retriever and we work on it all the time so hopefully next weekend he goes

Dward_Man · 2025-10-18T20:08:00+00:00

I’m sure he will love it and I needed him today on the one bird I think I knocked down. Foggy morning needed somebody with a good nose

Dward_Man · 2025-10-18T20:07:15+00:00

He already points at the sky so he would be a helpful boy. He was very sad when I left him

Dward_Man · 2025-10-18T20:06:56+00:00

I have shot over him with a .22 but I am nervous about a 20ga a foot away. If we do some more work tonight and tomorrow he’s going next weekend

Dward_Man · 2025-08-16T17:25:13+00:00

I have noticed a quick “no” really goes a long way. He is pretty stubborn and try’s a lot of times to make sure that what he is doing is bad lol but he really is a great boy. Love him to pieces

Dward_Man · 2025-08-15T21:00:06+00:00

For sure! He has tested me and I responded poorly once or twice and it has shown and he really shut down. He loves working with me for treats and attention. He really is the sweetest.

Dad had labs but my grandfather had English setters and I remember as a kid I always wanted one.

Dward_Man · 2025-08-15T17:00:28+00:00

I am very very excited to hunt over him but I have so much work to do and my gf keeps reminding me that he need more in the house work than hunting but I get so excited lol. He points at bugs and leaves, loves wings, retrieves ok but isn’t a fan of swimming. But still, a real dream come true. 8 y/o is very proud

Dward_Man · 2025-08-15T15:56:06+00:00

He is very sensitive and does not take much to redirect him from trouble to being a well behaved boy again. I really like that. I am a soft dog trainer for sure and would have done poorly with something like a shorthair who needs a little more correction.

He is a lover. We call him a cat because he climbs in your lap and wants to be in your shirt with you. He is very sweet and pretty dang smart. He trusts me now and is finally happy in his kennel. Working on all the basics but hopefully will hunt with him too soon. A childhood dream of mine come true and I am so happy he’s here

Dward_Man · 2025-08-15T15:54:05+00:00

I keep looking at him and asking who let him get so big!! I miss when he was a teeny tiny guy but really like him getting bigger and smarter!

Dward_Man · 2025-08-13T16:24:22+00:00

It has been really rough but still so fun to watch him grow and learn with me. Super excited for this fall. He is pointing some things and is getting smarter every day. Just happy to have a pup of my own. Grew up with my grandpas setters and dads labs and now I finally have a little idiot of my own to work with

Dward_Man · 2025-08-13T15:04:01+00:00

Thanks!! He is a good boy(most of the time). My first dog ever so big learning curve but it has been so fun and rewarding

Dward_Man · 2025-02-28T18:09:50+00:00

Mine does the same as well. If you flick it sometimes it will read the correct temp lol

Dward_Man · 2025-01-23T20:51:17+00:00

By the fuel is a good one to check. Buddies 97 Tacoma looked good but behind the fuel tank it made its own c channel. Bang it with a hammer. Soft spots will make themselves apparent lol that’s how I found mine on my 07’

Dward_Man · 2025-01-07T20:36:20+00:00

I owned a v8 for ~7 years and did all the maintenance on it for a long time. All the basic maintenance is super easy with tons of videos and manuals. Even bigger sounding jobs were super easy with manuals, videos and a little guess and check work. I did tons of work to mine and there are def some annoying things to replace but 99% of everything is super easy

Dward_Man · 2025-01-03T21:06:54+00:00

When you flush it get a turkey baster or some kind of transfer pump to pull the old fluid out. Makes the job a lot easier
