i like LAB but,in my opinion they cant take heat.not their fault.
here in pa our temps are changing.can you believe its 60 degrees today.
it should be 10 above.
every year it gets WARMER and hardly any snow.
lab has hard time with warm temps.THAT IS ONLY FAULT I SEE WITH LAB.
i am trying a SMALL MUSTERLANDER this time around.
toby is 9=1/2 now .
gsp in my opinion seems to take heat better than lab.they go in water.
springer is great for pheasants.so is lab.
english setter is good on grouse but not water.
i am no expert on these dogs ONLY what i am seeing,i see a lot of different dogs hunting.
in fact,I AM ONLY ONE USING A LAB FOR GROUSE....
most of dogs i see are these 3.GSP,SETTERS,SPRINGERS.....
if i had to pick which dog i see most hunting,its the GSP...
