Default RE: Female black Lab

labs are real nice dog.
mine is good hunterbut tires out hunting grouse after 2 hrs.heat in oct here in pa. is nasty....

my lewellin setter will hunt all day..
i feel labs coat is their downfall hunting upland,they just get too hot too quick....
in water they shine..
hunting close they are great..
they have a brain like no other dog..

they do everything good, not great..

if you can do it, find a lab that is SMALL..like 75 for male and under 60 for female...
those big labs really fall apart trying to hunt upland,SMALL LONG LEGGED ONES are much better....

have a litter of those,you will have a dog that can do it all....

if you look at garys site with black dog with pheasant in his mouth, that male is 75 pds ..
he is very good in heat on upland...
bigger labs have tough time, for sure...
