Sure. None of my current labs are the game-aggressive bruiser that that dog was. He was 95# of solid athlete, and was 11 or 12 years old in that last picture....too old for that crap, and why we raced to try to kill that beaver as soon as they’d separate enough for safety. My current dogs are in the 65-75# class, and while plenty athletic, they’ve not shown that ‘killer’ gene, outside a gopher rat. LOL I’m sure they’d retrieve fur, but it would 100% need to be stone dead. You’d need a dog that could handle things whenever Murphy showed/plans went bad....and that’s a bigger dog, period. That dog was an outlier for what I’m used to with waterfowl dogs, and none of it was something I had anything to do with....it was just his natural nature.
