RE: Flushers shouldnt take the back seat
I sure hopw that wasn't the case. If it was then what has bird hunting come to. I have a Choc lab and love hunting behind her. I hunted behind both flushers and pointers and prefer the excitment of the flush. If they want to get technical. Ive seen pointers do a wonderful job, but when it come to retrieving they have a harder time. Overall dog I would say is a flusher, but both bring strength and excitment to the field. To each there own and what they like.
