what breed for....
I decided to put this topic under both the South Forum and Sporting dog because i figured I would get good suggestions, thoughts, cripes, etc etc on both. I'll be moving to Eastern Texas early next year and I want to get a dog sometime. I was thinking about either a German Short Haired or a Lab. but not having been there in awhile, I don't really know all what is out there in terms of upland birds. Out of the two, what would be the best breed to get? I also plan to go duck hunting as well in the future. Thanks in advance

RE: what breed for....
Of the two you listed, I have no Idea. I have a lab and is a good retriever, but I don't think he would be as good at upland hunting. And I think the opposite is true for the pointer.
Since this is the South forum, the dog I would recomend as a do it all dog is the Boykin Spaniel. They will hunt, flush, retrieve, trail, everything.

Our boykin had a much stronger hunting instinct than our Lab. She could also run & swim faster.
