More: I'm a firm believer that exposing a puppy to new things makes him a better dog. We picked up Owen on Memorial Day weekend in Kansas and over the next 3 days he went to a rodeo with Delmar Smith, stayed at the Peabody in Memphis, visited the Field Trial Hall of Fame in Grand Junction, and played in the surf at Edisto Island, SC. In 25+ years of owning bird dogs, he's the best I've had yet at 3 months of age.
