I have 2 Labs and they are great for waterfowl! I am picking up my first English Springer Spaniel in the morning as I am very impressed in thier upland abilities. It depends on what you want. Do you want a pointer or a flusher? What do you hunt most? What are your training skills?

A dog is only what YOU can make of it, so think about all breeds and thier pros and cons.

Good Luck with the Duck!
