Home Forums Birds & Dogs Hunting Dogs what breed would work?

Sadly, other than knowing he had some British lineage, I don’t know exactly. That one was gifted me by a breeder after one of my brittanies passed, I wasn’t too worried about papers/pedigree at that time, and wasn’t sure he wanted him registered, since he was free.....and I got him for a farm companion, while planning to buy another one for hunting. When I realized a few months later that he was full of potential, the owner had passed away, and I was loathe to bring it up with his widow, and lost touch with her over the years. Hindsight, THAT was a bigger oversight than I ever imagined.....best hunting AND family lab I’ve had in 40 years of dealing with dogs. He had initiative and judgement, an unbelievable nose, and a three way switch: off/full blast bird machine/kill bad things. LOL
