What's goin on guys? Last year was my first real Waterfowl hunting I've done. I hunt the Kansas River, just east of Manhattan KS. (WHERE KSU IS) I hunt the river and a lot of corn fields that surround the area. A lot of geese around here and quite a few ducks. I did pretty well but i did all without a dog. Hunting the river i have to pass on quite a few ducks that i know i couldn't get to. I got neoprene waders that help me out but some ducks would fall in the current too far out and would be a waste of a duck which i can't see doing.

My question is this. I want a dog that will be a good waterfowl dog but as well as upland bird dog.

I really want a chessie b/c my dad had one when i was little and it was an incredible dog, but was never upland hunted.
These dogs are instinctive when it comes to the waterfowling, but i would like to hear some experiences from you guys that have hunted behind on in upland hunting.

Thanks
