I had labs for almost 40 years and enjoyed hunting over them. Properly trained they are great hunters and companions. Although I used mine mostly for waterfowl when I hunted it I also used them for upland birds (grouse and pheasant). Labs are easy to train, smart and can be used in a variety of situations. I had one chocolate female lab that was the best dog I ever owned. I swore that dog could read my mind. The only thing I don't like about dogs is that they don't last long enough. My little Rajah broke my heart when she past and I never got a dog to do what she could do.
I still have labs but I don't hunt them anymore.

Hunting with a dog is a completely different thing. Only with a dog can you feel fully on the hunt. Frequent trips to the evenings began to attract me more and more after first time hunting with my Tricks. When he was 8 months old, we went with him to a full-fledged pheasant hunt, where we ventured into the paddock. And then the dog woke up a huge passion for the bird. We heard rave reviews about the work of my puppy at that time. Tricks managed to stop when the bird was rising and carried the carcasses of the shot trophies with great pleasure.
