Im Thinking bout gettin a bird dog, but i dont know which kind. My uncle has a lab and its a great dog, but im not a fan. Any Suggestions?
There's a lot of opinion based on what the individual likes but the question is why are you not a fan of the lab first off and secondly what kind of bird's you want to hunt? With out answer's to those question's you can't get a real good answer. The belief here seem's to be your a duck hunter, I don't recall you saying that. One gentleman seem's to think you mean upland game birds, a GSP is no match for a Labrador in a duck blind, although it can do it.
Just occured to me, this is the waterfowl thred, DUH!!!!!
I've been out of duck hunting for a long time but as I get older and rounder, the comfort's of a duck blind are seeming more inviting than another march up a chukar hill! I love Lab's. I love all dog's. But I've never tried a Boykin spaniel and I'm gonna give one of them a go next.
