  • Beautiful dog! RIP

  • Very nice video, I know how it feels man

  • Great video! I'm getting my first dog (black lab male) soon and cant wait to share the enjoyment of duck hunting with him.

  • I watch this video every few months and it honestly shows the true bond we have with our animals and what hunting means to them. RIP Teal!

  • is buck her offspring?

  • Dam! Wipe my tears - wipe my nose! She was a gift. You boys are lucky...

  • I lost my dog Rusty, loyal companion of 10 years just before the season... what I would have given for just one more hunt with the old fellow...

  • 3 people are moose hunters..

  • That was an amazing video! She was with out a doubt a great buddy!

  • dude this is a great video. I know its hard man but i wanted to say this video is very touching and prooves that dog is relally a mans best friend. Hope you have the best of luck duck hunting through your life man. Little sayin I got. If they fly in dont let them fly out. lol

  • great tribute video dogs truly are mans best friend...rip teal

  • Very nice video man, I know the feeling!!

  • i had a cessie but right before duck season it got hit by a car and killed but i got another 1 this august for my bday ive been training but i know how u feel

  • WOW....

  • Great tribute. I've been there and this video just brought it all back.

  • Outstanding!

  • This is a great tribute Awesome Video Man

  • Have two black lab puppies to start hunting with next year. hope they're good dogs like Teal!

  • Fabulous tribute

  • What is dog spelled backwards ? Yep, Thats what Im talkin bout !

  • There is only so much you can train a dog to do. Through her education and expierence she has picked up a few things on her own, such as shaking that decoy out of her way !!!! never seen a dog do that !!!! wow !!!!

  • Only real hunters know how it feels to loose such a good and loyal shooting friend!!

  • awsome video. really pretty dog.

  • I miss my buddy Jake! R.I.P my good friend.

  • Of course you can live without dogs...but it is yust not worth it!

  • This video made me cry y'all I just started duck hunting 2 years ago and got a black lab pup 10weeks ago she's going to be my buddy I couldn't even think about losing her in anyway let alone a hunt

  • what a great video.i miss my hunting buddy "DAWG"

  • thank you for sharing this. an amazing dog you had, im glad you managed to film her and put this video together. I have 2 black labs, the older 1 is my shooting buddy, we only have 4 seasons under our belt and i hope to have many more with him. the bitch is 10 months old and still in training. if she is half as good as your teal then i'll be happy. as for those who "dislike", you're very sad and i feel sorry for you.

  • Should be the music video for the song. IU find myself watching the video almost every day because it brings me to realization our best friends don't last forever just like us they move on to a better place. Great video, and this is an amzing way to give her a tribute and pass her on!!

  • Remember these Words of Wisdom about Dogs:

    He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog.

    You are his life, his love, his leader.

    He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart.

    You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.

  • This is amazing. We have a black lab named teal that loves to duck hunt as well. shes 13 now, but still if your alarm goes off at any time before 5 am she is waiting for you and wont let you leave without her. it must be something in the name that makes a great waterfowl dog.

  • Sweet pooch, great video.

  • im a 16 year old kid never cry and this put me into tears. we never think about what it would be like with out four legged hunting buddys till there gone. teal sounded like a hell of a dog im sorry shes gone.

  • Man Teal was awsome...what a drive she had...this video made my eyes water...but during the video smiles came to my face just watching her with that drive she had, she's like my Chocolate Lab Maggie...Mag had 2 ACL operations since Jan2011 and i've had her out running and trainning and these operations have not stopped her at all...she's laying down next to me while i'm typing this and i had to kneel down and give her a hug and a kiss on the nose....this video really hit me hard..Honkers48

  • @Honkers48 hits me hard every time i watch it. i had a yellow lab pass away a few years ago. lime disease led to kidney failure and i slowly watched my dog just slip away. it was a horrible thing to watch and i hope no one will ever have to go through wat i went through. she gave me a gift though. the dog i have now was born on my birthday which was 1 month after she passed. if that isnt a sign i dont know wat is.

  • My dog dixie that i have had since i was 5 died june 4 2010. The last hunt i ever took her on was on the cash river. I remember it like it was yesterday. You never forget your huntin buddy no matter what. They will always be in uour heart.

  • i cant watch this without getting all choked up. thanks for all the good vids.

  • Thanks for sharing, Teal seems to be the best ever. Any tips on how to break in two 1 year old boys on retrieving well?

  • amazing video! Thank you for such a fantastic video! God bless her!

  • i have a little girl white lab and i could not begin to imagin what i would do if i lost her shes the best duck dog ill ever own

  • i had a great dog then had to give her away:(

  • What a great dog, faithful till the end. Thanks for sharing this. I have two black labs both males Dale/4 and Bear/2 and I don't know what I would do without them.

  • Great Video. It hits home every time. 

  • Wow, great dog, great tribute! Your video is better than most shows on the Sportsman Channel.

  • What a nice video to remember your dog. Thank you for sharing that with the rest of us.

  • Thank you for sharing.

  • A tribute that captures every essences of who Teal was as a hunter, companion, friend, and partner to you, your family and all who hunted with her. What a great way to honor her. As the tears stream; it makes me look at the moments I have left with Charlie in a different light. I often ask god why he takes them before our time on earth is up! - DogGirl

  • Great video man. Looks like she was a great dog.

  • Made a grown duck hunter tear up sir. Hell of a video. Can't imagine the feeling, mine is still a pup only a year old going for his first AKC Junior pass next month.

  • that's a shame that your dog has died

  • This is one of the best videos I have ever watched.

  • money cant buy dogs like that

  • great video man i'm sorry for you losing teal, i love my dogs always a mans best friend!

  • A dog's mindset, is an extention of the masters personality.

    If the dog is well trained, so will the master be well versed.

    If the dog works hard for the reward, so will the master be a hard worker.

    If the dog is wild, and untamed, so will the master be wild, and untamed.

    A dog will only attain that with which their master has taught them to attain,

    To have a great dog, you must prove to the dog, that YOU, are a worthy master.

  • @MistaBray

    I agree, but it takes a special dog to have this kind of drive and dedication. I have been lucky enough to hunt with a few dogs like Teal. I grew up hunting with Win-Toba kennels Cyclone Sam (R.I.P), a NAHRA grandmaster hunter and 1993 NAHRA nationals qualifier! We are truly blessed to train and hunt with dogs like Sam and Teal. It's a special thing; the bond between a hunter and his bird dog, and this video sums it up perfectly! R.I.P Teal and awesome video guys!

  • Hey just Gonna say that I guide hunts in Arkansas and I've got a dog named teal and I'd be torn apart without him. I've also got one of chris aikens pups out of one of his champion dogs that I would hate to lose

  • i had a black lab named jazmin she was all of 50 pounds soaking wet but she was the best little waterfowl huntin dog ive ever hunted over. she passed away last july. she died in my arms and my dad had to pry me off of her. and this last fall i could hardly even go hunting without tearing up. she made some of the most amazing retrieves ive ever seen in my life. and i would do any thing to have 1 day of hunting with her RIP JAZMIN <3

  • great video man i know how hard it is to loose my best friend. this video made me cry, im so sorry for your loss teal must have been a great dog.

  • i have a black lab named wahoo and im gona trane him to duck hunt

  • i just jerked a damned tear son....hellva video

  • "GOD BLESS" The Working Gun Dog.

  • awesome. srry for your loss.

    From Louisiana

  • this brings tears to my eyes every time I watch this. I guess I am not over her yet. You all are very lucky to have these memories. thanks for sharing her.what a champ.

  • Man, you just made a grown man cry! I have a Chocolate Lab named Dale that acts a lot like Teal. He's a true duck hunter. He knows what the mission is when you point the gun in the air, before you ever pull the trigger. He watches every bird hit the water and looks back at me for the 'OK' to go. He takes care of business. You just convinced me to video as much as I can. I have a couple on here now. Thanks for sharing this! Teal was a brilliant dog, I can tell. She's hunting right now!!!

  • I just started hunting with my black lab and she just turned a year 2 months ago and she is doing great! I hope i will have as many memories as you and your dog great VIDEO! 

  • Wow!!

  • This video inspired me. I hope i will have a relationship with my dog like you do. Whack em and stack em!

  • I've seen this video, and loved it but I guess it didn't hit home , and then I watched my 8 month old yellow lab male " Zeuss" get run over today, and die in a friends arms. In 8 months he brought so much joy into my family. He had already retrieved tons of birds for us, and was just starting to shine. I think he taught me more than I taught him since he was my first retriever. So hard to even think about getting another dog ever. R.I.P. Zeuss, I love ya Zeusscerdo!!

  • Makes me miss my old hunting buddy Jack Daniels Black LABel. Dogs make duck hunting for me! Great video!

  • i know that i Am going to really truly miss my black lab Katie when she dies may that be a very long time from now!

  • I can not find a more loveable face on a dog anywhere except that of a Labrador Retriever!

  • I'm touched. I lost the best Lab that I will ever have in 96 to old age and a stroke.

    I wish that I'd have done what you did for Pepper.

    Thanks.

  • Even Tho You Didn't Have To,I Give A Thumb's Up For Sharing Your Video Us.I've Had Several Labs And I Lost My Best One To A Heat Stroke.

  • i love ths video man..it really makes me think..i hope my dog chalk got acouple more seasons in em..hes gettn old but hes got alot of heart and energetic..i love em wit everything..im sorry u had to loose a good dog like teal...dont you wish they wouldnt die

  • Without dogs, mankind may not have made it. How many dogs must have given their lives to some beast while the cave dwellers fled. Life would be so empty for me without my dog. My black lab is an old timer now and although he has never hunted, he has been such a wonderful companion for 16 wonderful years next to me. Anyone who has never owned a dog of some kind has never experienced that special love. I am 70yrs. old and I have always owned a dog of some kind. Dogs are a special gift to man.

  • @buddybleau Well said. There is an old Celtic saying that when we die the first thing we will see are the animals we have loved and they will show us the way. How could anyone NOT love dogs?

  • @buddybleau Well said...you were lucky to get 16 years from your great dog.

  • Awesome video.....makes me look at my 3 year old chocolate a lot differently now....i dread the day i have to find another partner

  • Awesome video.....makes me look at my 3 year old chocolate a lot differently now....i dread the day i have to find another partner

  • Man i just wanna say these dogs are pretty amazing! I have a 4 month old black lab pup that wont leave my side and loves to hunt. I hope someday he is good as your dogs. Good luck to you and your dogs out hunting.

  • Man i just wanna say these dogs are pretty amazing! I have a 4 month old black lab pup that wont leave my side and loves to hunt. I hope someday he is good as your dogs.

  • I never comment on the videos I watched but your Teal really reminds me of my dog Banks. Always on high idle when making retrieves. What a great dog!

  • Amazing video I subscribed I've lost several dogs in my life and it never gets any easier. Put a tear in my eye. Im go give my brittany pup some love now. Dogs are truly a man's best friend. A hunting dog is truly a partner for life. Im sure Teal is watch you Livin the Dream hunt after hunt. While she has a sky full of ducks just wait to hunt again with her buddy.

  • what a dog..!! one in a million..!!! hope to find one like her some day..

  • 5:35 one of the coolest things to ever see (watching a good dog work is amazing).....im sorry for your loss man i dunno what im gonna do when i lose my huntn buddy

  • I lost my Black lab to cancer he was only 4 died on Christmas eve.

    Max, he was a cool dog

  • Lost my black lab 6 months name was Drake she had limes disease thanks for 13 years drake we all love you.

  • aint gonna lie this made me cry. great video and tribute to ur dog

    Ambush Design Stencils

  • Freddie, great video. I know kizzy is a damn good dog but Teal was one heck of a pup as well..

  • Great tribute to Teal.

  • I'm so sorry sir I hope me and my new pup can have the same memories and experiences as u and it dog.

  • this is a really great video! I truly respect and understand. you sure do have great memories and had such a great bond. Rest in Peace Teal.

  • Put tears in my eyes...Amen Brother RIP Teal

  • Amen brother.

    RIP Teal.

  • man this was a beutiful tribute some of the greatest memories come from hunting dogs and ur closest hunting buds keep huntin strong and hang on to those memories of teal.

  • Very fitting tribute brotha! That will make a grown man shed a tear. There is something special about all of our "biscuit eaters"... as frustrating and stubborn as they can be, they put it all together when it counts and it's something that will not be forgotten.

  • My first lab Misty gave me so many memories in the field I can't even begin to count. She also gave me another 6 years at home before my dad and I had to have her put down because of a stroke. She was 17 when she passed. her namesake is giving me the same memories and joy. I only wish they could live forever because it is so hard to say goodbye to them. Rest In Peace Misty. Know that Misty II is doing your name proud. I hope to hunt with you again in heaven some day.

  • Wow this is soooo touching I am sorry for your loss my dad played this an wanted to show me but I couldn't finish it I finally sat down and played it and wow you did a good job buy I cried I am sooo sorry for your loss.

  • Well done. For waterfowl field reports this season, check out the socially networked field reporting map at:

    HuntersBlind . com

  • This video really touched me, i am 14, i lost my dog, her name was tango, she was an amazing retreiver,me and my dad lost her to a tumor. She was 11 when we had to put her down :(, good video, we really get attached to our dogs. Like they say " a mans best friend". sorry for the loss, rest in peace teal

  • God Bless you brother to have been blessed with this incredible hunting partner.

    We all feel your loss.

  • aint nothin like watchin a man and his dog do the thing they both love. I feel ya man. Noticed this vid was put up a while back and I dont wanna remind you of that time but I know how ya feel and wish ya luck with the next one!

  • some people just dont know how close we get to these dogs out in the feild. some think they kno because they get close at home but they just dont know. everymorning at 3:30 waking up together, packing up together, launching together, riding together, calling together, hunting together. its in a class all by itself, its unlike anything. its like another person, like a brother

  • She was a hell of a good dog, I have a couple of Echo's video's with her in it. My Lab Jed is gonna be ten this november, he's my second Lab. Harley was my first lab, he gave me 14 years of memories that only guys like us understand. These dogs give us everything they got, with no excuses, and do it with a passion and determination that you would be hard pressed to find elsewhere. Thats what makes them so incredible. Sorry for your loss brother, I know nothing I can say will make it easier

  • wach teal hunt dame fine dog man and i know what u mean about how much we bond in the feild i love every min of it we all get to geather and have a good time

  • i am sorry man about ur loss i wach teal do some hunts man dame fine dog

  • Nice video. They don't call them 'mans best friend' for nothing.

  • Just finishing watching this video. I Have a new puppy and was looking for a training video to show my wife of 6 mo. how we will train the puppy. Ran across this video and can't stop crying. Lost my choc. Lab named TEAL last mo. of 15 years. She loved to hunt God Bless You!!!!!!

  • yeah man i know how you feel ive had a couple of huntin dogs in my time and when one passes you cherish those times you spent together. and even though you get a new dog there is always a place in your memories for the other. sorry for your loss brother and good huntin.

  • I'm not trying to disrespect anyone, and I'm incredibly sorry for your loss, but it's funny how your dog like looks suspicious when you say Lymphoma. Again i'm sorry for being disrespectfull! 1:02

    Teal's in a better place, hunting in heaven!

  • @xxJMStudiosxx Oh, sorry. I posted that before i saw the rest! She is alive, sorry!

  • Best video on youtube hands down.

  • Awesome video very touching man. Love it.

    RIP Teal

  • One of the most touching things I have ever seen. I just lost my girl roxsey on 1/1/10 and she was only 6 months old. She was on her way to being a great gun dog. I did get to see her make her first retrieve in a real hunt though. I will never forget that day I have never been prouder except the day my kids were born. God bless all hunters and their dogs!!!

  • Very heartfelt and touching Freddy.... As you said, words can't describe.

  • I can only imagine what its like to lose your hunting buddy, your companion, the one hunting buddy that wont call you up late at night and tell you they cant go with you in the morning. You put your heart and soul into loving, caring, and not to mention all of the countless hours you have spent training. When the time comes it takes a part of your soul with them.

    RIP: Teal

    You were a wonderful dog I wish I could have a chance to hunt with a dog as half as good as you where

  • :( i dont no man thats sad. i got a mountan fixst she is a squrril dog and she retreved about alot of runs and retrives on my first time killing a squrril she is best dog that i ever had im naming my first lab teal becase my 1st duck was a bluewing teal

  • if you can watch this video and not have a tear come to your eyes then you just dont understand the bond that duck hunters have with their dogs. im 17 and me and my dad almost lost our 3 yr. old lab Daisey to parvo this year. Ive seen teal work and this is a great tribute to an even better dog.

  • @cottonriddle2 im 16 and lost my first lab this past july. she wasnt a hunting dog but she was my companion. she got lime disease and it caused kindney failure. then on my birthday in august that same year a litter of puppies was born from the same blood line. it was like a birthday present from my lab. i will never forget that moment when i saw my new lab for the first time.

    RIP: Teal

  • This is a great tribute freddy, this video realy tells the truth about the ralationship between a hunter and their retreiver. My dad, brother, and I have a chocolate lab named Brutus, he's going on 6 years old. He's been the best retreiver I've ever had and the saying "dog is mans best friend" realy explains me and brutus's relationship.i don't know what I'll do when we lose him but it's going to be realy hard.

  • I don't comment very much if ever, but damn! I hunt with a friend that's got the Lab (Hunter), I have the Brittney (Goldie). Hunter has been our Teal. Passed 9 years old and still going strong, God bless. But watching your video, I realize we are going to have to brace ourselves for the lost when it comes. I hope I can do as good a job with our version of a tribute video as you have. Not to be mushy, but I'm a 46 year old man and this tribute to a fine animal is hard to watch without a tear!!!!!

  • Man Thats got to be hard. You are losing a great dog, Member of the crew, and a family member. I had a dog like that but she fell through the ice and never could get out. Nothing Scarier than watching your dog work itself to the point they give up. Great Video.

  • Great Tribute to a great family member. I've felt your pain as 3yrs ago I had to put down mine after a long and frustrating battle with seizures. I will always appreciate every session or hunt, every second of frustration, and every second of feeling proud for and of him and what he had become. She appeared to have been a great hunting buddy and will always remain a loved member of the family! Sorry for your loss! This is a great way for her to "live on" in yours and everyones heart!

  • not only did you lose a hunting buddy, but probably the closest one you have. what other hunting buddy comes home with you after the hunt. I can't imagine the feeling of losing my dog and he doesn't even come hunting with me. good video and sorry for your loss.

  • Truly, she was a one of a kind. I can see that in her eyes....the desire, drive, and devotion. I have felt your pain here recently. If you would like to see her search "A tribute to Jonesy". Really appreciate your video.

  • Hey brother, awesome video...at the end you apologized for the scoldings, it reveals your pain...you trained her to be the best retriever; a great, tough dog! thank you for sharing your heart man....

  • I know that "special bond" your talking about. I lost my best friend in 2006 a few months after the season ended. Every hunt I have more appreciation for the time spent with hunting buddies. Thanks for sharing that video!!!

  • how many "tough guys" teared up over this? haha.......i did..

  • Comment removed

  • Great video! check out HuntersBlind . com if you all are interested in how hunters are doing out there this year.

    HuntersBlind has socially networked waterfowl field reports by hunters!

  • teal died doing what she loved to do and thats they way i would want to do die doing something that we love to do duck hunting

  • I have to say this is one of the most amazing videos that I have seen , Very Heart felt . That is amazing , I Want to thank you for sharing that video amazing . One day I might be able to share that

  • im from malvern ark i got a chocolate female ...and i know your family must miss your dog...god bless you my southern brother

  • loosing a dog has to be the hardest thing a man can go through. The only way a dog is happy is if you are happy. and all they want do is please. And when you talk to your buddy he/she know exactly what you are saying but they use their eyes and body language to talk back.

    I was once at the vet for a checkup on my dog. There was a family there who were putting down their lab from cancer. the family goes in the back room and come back out in pain. the nurse says to the little boy....

  • Great Vid! I Love it... I was wonderin if you could freeze frame a 5:56 and 6:03 and send those pics to me... message me if this would be possible... this is one of the best vids I have seen

  • At 5:27 I get goosebumps! There is no stopping that dog! I couldn't walk through that brush. There are very few things in life that compare to a good dog on a bird.

  • this was one hell of a gift you gave us i hunt in phx az and my brother is in alabama but i wish i had a dog like teal thanks for the awsome video if in decator alabama go to all the rage tatoo ask for robbie and get a cool duck tate or teals pic thanks calmingwind

  • sorry for ur dog. i had a yellow lab pass away this past july from lime disease. she stopped eating except for me. i had fed her for a few months and then she just got real bad and passed away. i got another yellow lab from the same bloodline that was born on my birthday and i plan on training her as a duck dog.

  • What a amazing video. You really captured it all. I feel for ya brother.

  • Gotta Love those black dogs ! Man is this the truth. I love my little black dog Maddi shes a Teal all in all.

  • I first seen this a few months ago... And cried my eyes out.. I went out and held my lab and hoped this day would never come.. Today I lost my lab, Slim Shady... He will always be remembered.. and the pain will linger... Thank you for your tribute... Big Shoes to fill, my last words to Slim... We all miss you Slim...

  • when my dog got lime disease i would take her for a walk and just sit somewhere and stare at the sky hoping my lab would live for a few more years(she was 7). ended up losing her a few weeks later. for a few days i would sit by her grave thinking about all the good memories.

  • AWESOME!!!!!

  • great job on the video man... its realy awsome... and true... they realy r a huge part of our lives.... i dont hink any of us would trade some of the memories we have with our companions for anything...

  • @bkaber  your right gotta do it to understand it . gl this season!

  • i feel for you man.. nice job with the video i think they all become a part of our lives.. more than any woman ever will, its just different you know?

    RIP Mater
