Get a GSP, you'll be glad you did. They will work just fine for ducks. If it's real cold where you live you can get a neoprene vest for them and it'll be fine. The Germans developed this breed to do all the different types of gun dog work a man could need so he would only need one dog.
My eight month old puppy will be going out with me in two weeks to retrieve Canada's for me when my season starts. He's a little high strung yet but he loves to swim and retrieve.
