Its not really that hot here during our bird season. Plus theres not enough to hunt to run a dog all day. I was looking into a lab,german shorthair, and britney spaniels ( i don't want to keep it trimed) I also thought about Vizsla but the only breeder ive found for them wants 600bucks a pup. I can get German shorthairs and labs from 300 and under. We have one black lab already but was never trained really to hunt so I want a pup to start over with. I do like labs alot, pretty much id like either a lab or GSP.... I don't want dog I gotta sit and pick burrs out of their hair for half the day. So a setter is out.
here in pa. it gets over 50 degrees and higher in grouse season.
i have small lab.
he does get tired from heat.
also he is flusher and its hard to get grouse that is flushed 30 yards from you.
getting a hunting lab under 700 is not possible here in pa.
they run from 600 to 1,000 a pup.
