She was raised and trained in Ireland and came here as a 2 1/2 year old last August. They are quite different from American labs:smaller(50-55lb) calm and steady . They are trained with positive reinforcement , never see an electronic collar. They do not have the "fire" of an American Lab, more of a soft calm retriever. I live with her 52 weeks of the year and hunt with her 6 weeks ,so wanted a girl that was easy to live with as well as a trained duck retriever.
