Princess M Posted December 24, 2008 Share #1 Posted December 24, 2008 Actually his name is Benelli. He will be DkKnight's hunting partner hopefully by next duck hunting season. Tom was retrieving his own ducks. One time he was hunting with a friend who has a Lab and Tom was out of the blind to retrieve the duck as fast as the dog. So they started calling him "Milkbone". Hopefully Benelli will be a great retriever and Tom won't have to be "Milkbone" anymore. [ATTACH]24865[/ATTACH] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eazyduzzit Posted December 24, 2008 Share #2 Posted December 24, 2008 He looks just like Jake did a couple of years ago. I don't hunt but I made the mistake teaching Jake to fetch. Just a note the way you teach a Lab to fetch is to throw something. Anyway a ball or Frisbee to Jake is like crack to a junky. He will chase a ball until he dies unless you stop throwing it. Then he'll stand like a statue staring at the ball until you throw it again. I had Jake on a leash one day over at my neighbor's. I wasn't paying much attention to him as I was talking to the neighbor. I didn't know that the neighbor's grandson played T-ball and was behind me getting ready to hit a ball off of the tee, but Jake did. I heard a SMACK! and then my arm pulls almost out of it's socket as Jake took off for the ball. All I know is if Tom is out of the blind as fast as the Lab, he needs to enter the olympics. Oh, beautiful pup by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

friesman Posted December 24, 2008 Share #5 Posted December 24, 2008 Can we see a vote by raise of hands... should we change Tom's handle to Milkbone? Moderators?? Might be worth a vote.,......but he has guns....:rotfl::rotfl: Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich99 Posted December 24, 2008 Share #6 Posted December 24, 2008 Can we see a vote by raise of hands... should we change Tom's handle to Milkbone? Moderators?? Call Tom Milkbone and the dogs might start retrieving him M. I remember when I use to toss milkbones to my dog. My hunting days were over a long time ago, but I always enjoyed going out with one of my friends who had a retriever. Good luck in the training of him; have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Condor Posted December 25, 2008 Share #10 Posted December 25, 2008 Great looking pup. Congradulations. Is he AKC?? At least he'll go get'm. My Shorthair was great to hunt pheasants over, but in a blind she'd look at me and think...Why should I get it...You shot it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Eagle Posted December 25, 2008 Share #11 Posted December 25, 2008 Definitely have my vote to change Tom's handle to Milkbone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:rotf: Beautiful pup - hope you all have many loving days with you new family member, and Benelli will assist Tom - in his "elder" stage - get the ducks - :rotf: Merry Christmas, M and Tom - and also to your family.

Princess M Posted December 25, 2008 Author Share #12 Posted December 25, 2008 Yes, he is a Akc pup. He looks like he has a good bloodline. His dad retrieves. His grandmother's pedigree is online http://www.hightest.com/dams/georgia.php Benelli's grandfather is from the same kennel. They told me he is retired now but was a master hunter and a very talented hunting dog. PS- Tom won't go for the name change:think: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozark Posted December 25, 2008 Share #13 Posted December 25, 2008 Good looking dog. Also like the way you named him after a shotgun. Nice touch. Now if you could just teach Tom to fetch, roll-over and play dead you would have it made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as Tom (I love this man): Fetch: he will get me something if I ask. Roll over: when he snores. Play dead: sleeps in front of the tv. I guess I do have it made.

Rottdoglover Posted December 26, 2008 Share #16 Posted December 26, 2008 Very cute little critter. 'Benelli' is a shotgun? I thought maybe you named him after the old motorcycles Sears sold. No matter what you call him, labs are great dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
