They were the easiest of any dog I have ever trained and believe me, I have had many breeds in my life. I do hunt a lot and was in some great dove clubs at that time, but they were phenomenal dogs and a pleasure to work. One club I was in had 3 well known dog trainers as members and I received comments all the time about how my dogs were better than their dogs. I will have another before long.
I didn't mean as mine was hard to train. I honestly taught him obedience and everything else was natural. He is much different than a lab though. Mine is sharp though. Any dominant dog and he wants to fight. Little dogs he doesn't even bother.

“… duckhunting stands alone as an outdoor discipline. It has a tang and spirit shared by no other sport—a philosophy compounded of sleet, the winnow of unseen wings, and the reeks of marsh mud and wet wool. No other sport has so many theories, legends, casehardened disciples and treasured memories.”
--John Madson, The Mallard, 1960
"Never trust a duck hunter who cares more about his success than his dog's."
