I'm taking her to the lake every chance I get as well.

Do it AT. With your work schedule (from home), should be a piece of cake

I'm thinking when the kids go back to school would be a good time. If The Dingo is a bad influence, I'm going to trade her in for some paper towels and shotgun shells, and tell the wife she ran away with one of the barn cats.

In all honesty, I do believe you can train most dogs to be decent hunting dogs. They may be lacking some skills or physical traits that are more favorable, but that doesn't mean a dog won't hunt.
My poor pup has had no direction from me in a long time. Dealing with foster puppies took that time all away, and now that they are gone she got kennel cough. She's getting over that now though so we've done a couple bumper retrieves in the yard, but my BIG problem is she's showing gun shyness. Even from little whipper snappers. I need to get my hands on some live birds to get her all hyped up about something before I can start working on getting her over that shyness though because bumpers, balls, even food, she just isn't enthusiastic about it enough to help her overcome something by using any of those.

how did you introduce your dog to gunfire originally?

Running around in a field. Never had anyone who could help me by being farther away, and like I said, she's not crazy about anything, so I just went with it. She was actually fine with it at first. She has progressivly shown more and more shyness. Probably would help if I could hit a friggin bird for her to associate it with something good.
