the SMALL LONG LEGGED AMERICAN LAB in my opinion is the ALL AROUND DOG only because they can go into cold waters in winter.
if OTHERS could do that,it would be hard to pick the ALL AROUND DOG.
the GSP is as close to lab you could get but they get very cold in cold water in winter.they will shiver and shake.
but throw out the cold water thing and many dogs are ALL AROUND DOG.

SETTERS/GSP/BRITTANYS and are better bird dog on grouse than the LAB BUT CANT TAKE COLD WATER OR HEAVY SNOWS AND COLD .
