i have a six month old pure pup, its my first pure. had working dogs all my life and i'm now starting to get her to do the basics ;ike i want her to do them, but i've found you do need to be patient with them, this bitch is the most strong minded pup i've ever had but at last patients has paid off.
I hope after a couple of seasons i can put a post up like yours describing my bitch. Fingers crossed.
