I see a lot of Pointing breed hunters say that watching a Lab work is boring or slow paced, I'm on my first Lab and I constantly have to work at keeping her in range and slowing her down. The only thing limiting the ground covered is me keeping her in shooting range. Hunted from 8 am until 5pm yesterday with two 15 minute relocation breaks and about a half hour lunch break. Honestly, I can't see too many people wanting to hunt a whole lot more. Again I'm no expert and my dog may not be a perfect representative of her breed, she is definitely not the hulking block headed Lab you see often with duck hunters.
