puppy training

Joram · puppy training

Although I am not very fond of training puppies too soon, it's interesting to find out what they are capable of in an early stage.
This week I took my 10 week old small musterlander puppy Bella in the garden to do some more serious tests. Bella is a daughter of Didi, my first small munsterlander - now three years old.

Here are the results:

As you can see in the second video, Bella expect to find another duck wing. After she comes back, she smells the rabbit fur which she (almost) perfectly retrieves.

I also worked a few minutes on pointing. Very quickly she gave notice of a talent for pointing.

With these result I don't have to worry about her basic capacities. That means the I can spend time to let her quite free and discover the world the next coming months.
