thanks guys.
now that he's been home for about a week he's getting comfortable with being a puppy which means constant supervision and that puppy energy is never ending. but nothing beats how happy he looks when we come home from a day at work or how content he is just sitting on the porch watching the world. (he really seems to like that)

gonna see how he likes the boat this weekend weather permitting. I'm guessing hes going to be pretty scared at first... Any tips on getting him used to it?

Any of my dogs that I trained for duck hunting, we always start out with the boat on dry land. It lets them used to the new surroundings before it starts moving under his feet. Plenty of praise and no force. If you have to drag him into the boat - don't do it or it will be a problem forever. Good luck -

Congrats!! man I love dogs... hate people though.
We have also gotten all our dogs from shelters/rescues: lab/shep mix, pit bull mix, and our current troublemaker a pit bull. ALL great dogs.

I rescued my sheperd. Great dog. Doesn't fish tho. Won't come out of the house at 0330.
They never forget you rescued them, I swear.
