Cute lab pup. I have had labs and hunted with labs. Labs are a flushing breed and do not have the same nose as the pointing breeds. I wouldn't encourage the pup to point if you are going to train him for hunting. I know it's cute but that is not their forte and it will just confuse him/her when the real training starts. I would concentrate on the sit, stay and most important come when called. It's also a good time to start retrieving with short playful sessions. No tugging games as this will cause a hard mouth when they start retrieving game. There are a lot of good starter books for labs.
