This is Dylan and a future member to my youth hunting group. Since he is only 9 (cannot hunt until 12) he comes along with me to run dogs, so I decided to start letting him handle Nitro. If he can go (isnt on vacation with family), I am going to let him run Nitro in an upcoming Retrieving Test.

I started out by having hm whoa Nitro at his side & toss a bumper himself so Nitro would focus on him (not see me throw it & come to me), Dylans first throw landed wayyy to the left in multiflora, but he got this one right!

Sweet! He's adorable, and so is the dog.

Very cute! I love Nitro's tail wagging the whole time he's swimming. You would think that would make it hard to rudder or steer in the water
