Ro has a new toy in the shape of a large pheasant, don't worry it will be the closest he ever gets to the real thing but we're definitely going to do some breed specific training with him so he doesn't get mentally frustrated.
Lots of scent work using people rather than wildlife, plenty of retrieving and swimming when he is strong enough. I think we'll give agility a go as well as he is full of energy.
I know everyone thinks their dog is great but he really does seem very smart. The only thing he is struggling with is leaving treats until you say he can have them but I think that's more because he's obsessed with eating rather than he doesn't understand!
He's brilliant off the lead, he runs off to play but comes back when you call and doesn't pay attention to anyone else on the field unless a dog comes up to him so I'm very relieved.
We spent this afternoon at Paddy Freeman's park with Anna and he was as good as gold while we had cake and loved his free run on the field, despite collecting lots of other peoples rubbish for me to carry to the bin.
