^^^^exactly! Where do you live and what type of game do you hunt??? We need little more info.

Quail and pheasant.......I prefer GSP's....obvisouly....very versatile and great dogs!

Ducks & Geese.....lab (no experience but know they're good b/c in my opinion the golden's have been bread more for pets than hunting unless you find that rare golden breeder that specializes in the "old" hunting type of golden) Just my $0.02 though
