i dont like ENGLISH lab for hunting, only american lab.
english is stockier build,american is LONG LEGGED and usually smaller.
sounds like good housedogs.
look at those labs ,then look at wetland-retriever pictures.
Im about like you, i really like the look of the wetland retreivers. I think as a first time trainer i really dont need to put abunch of money in to a lab. im not looking to breed or do any masters stuff.
Im looking to spend around 500-800 on a good allround dog that will do the hunting i need but also be social.
