a new duck dog?

[Cowmilker]

I was given a new dog this week, I have been told it is a Chesapeake lab, not sure if it is purebread. What can I start with to train him, before I get my hands on a book or DVD about bird dog training. Can I train him to get upland AND waterfowl, or is each a different game to them? He will already sit, come when called (although I don't know if I could call him off if he went after another dog), he is great with kids (he seams to know it's o.k. to be a little rough with the 6yr old but only licks and cudles with the 10month old). He is also one of the most beautiful dogs I've seen. I will get to Sportsmans some time this week, to get a book on training, but is there anything I can do the next couple of days to start him off? Any sugestions would be appreciated.
Thanks, Steve
