I spent time researching and I selected a Kennel out of Southern Indiana to get a lab pup to train as my shed dog. Brushpile and Doctor Brady influenced me through their post regarding breeding and blood lines for deer tracking dogs.
To me, deer antlers have an almost magical power.
Scotty is my lab pup that I will be picking up on Jan 28th - weather permitting. I placed my trust in the dog breeder. Both of Scotty's parents have won some National Shed Dog trials.
I have two photos of him that Shannon Neal, breeder and trainer, took this evening for this forum. More about her kennel later. I will be going to a North America Shed Hunting Dog Association Trial in her area on Jan. 28th.
I have high hope for this pup and I do plan on sharing our progress on this thread. Will I make mistakes? That is part of learning. Everything I do will be about how this pup learns - not about my ego or what I need.
Scotty will not be exposed to birds. I want him 100% committed and trained for shed antlers.

Scotty was born October 21, 2016.

She did a great job getting him to pose for the camera.
