I would like to get a dog for duck hunting. My wife is not a big fan of labs and it may take some convincing. I was wondering if you guys had some advice on another breed that work well for water fowl retrieving or is the lab the best bet? Thanks

UMmmmm, because they are UGLY. Youve gotta have a dog that looks as good as it retrieves!!!! :lol:Why limit yourself by getting a "duck dog" when you can have a dog that will not only retrieve ducks, but also hunt every other bird you can imagine AND track game, AND is an awesome pointer, AND a formiddable guard dog, AND an awesome family dog, AND.......
Now you're talking about Labs :wink:STEVO said:Youve gotta have a dog that looks as good as it retrieves!!!! :lol:

Your dog looks pretty good there in that first picture in the river. Almost like a lab or a black Chessie :lol:Anaconda Pintler said:Exactly the breed war I was trying to avoid! :roll: But what the hell Pink eyed Pink nosed chessies yeah they are BEAUTIFUL! :roll: :roll:
