Default RE: Lab hunting

ORIGINAL: whitetailhunter10

Im getting a pup lab this spring and was wondering what to train it to hunt. I hunt any kind of small game but was wondering what a lab would be best at hunting. Please help
best is they hunt close and they always look for you, at least mine do.

thats nice when you are in woods that you dont have to worry where you dog is, usually they cross back/forth in front of you about 25 yards out all time.

labs are great for ducks/pheasants.

mine hunts grouse ok but is FLUSHER, YOU HAVE TO BE READY ALL TIME.

make sure you get a AMERICAN LAB, ONES WITH THE LONG LEGS AND SMALL BUILD.try to get one from breeder that sire/dam hunt.



stay away from those heavy english boxy head labs.

here is my friends site, look at his black dogs, that male in picture is mines brother.

look at size and build.this is not for advertizing only for you too look at his dogs, look at black ones to get idea of what you should be looking for and weights.
