RE: multi tasking dogs
Labs will.
My lab is a great duck and goose dog .
We also hunt pheasants , bobwhite quail, grouse ,chuckars and woodcock in several states.
We have duck hunted in the morning and pheasant hunted in the afternoon.
He is also invaluable when I hunt dove

That is why the Lab is the #1 versital hunting dog
I hunt my labs on ducks, Geese, pheasant, quail, and doves.
Not only does he flush the birds, he also points the ones that sit tight.
so that is what I call an all around dog and hard to beat.

check out the thread gwp my first dog there is some info in there I have trained 3 pointing labs, 1 english setter, 1 flushing lab , assisted on english pointers and am currently working on the 4th and 5th pointing labs, and I like the pointing labs as a all around dog hopefully we can get some video posted of a couple of our dogs, tig and libby, they are versatile, no doubt. lots of info on the web- check out the apla(american pointing lab association) website for a list of breeders and trainers.All reputable kennels with purebred pointing labrador bloodlines.

There are only 2 truly versatile dogs -- the GWP and the Pointing Lab.
