I know everyone has their own preferences, really just wanted to consider some other possibilities based on fellow sportsman’s experience. Right now, I’m leaning towards a Llewellin. Does anyone have any experience with this breed?
Off the beaten path for sure, but my current gun dog is a German Wachtelhund. He chases hair/fur and yelps (the Germans term is “gives tongue” of “spurlat”) and feathers he is whisper quite and fierce for retrieval. I’ve shot quail, pheasant and woodcock in front of his flush and he has retrieved literally well over a 1000 birds over ten years. For a while he was the only retriever in camp.
Mine was out of “Last Chance Wachtelhunds” in Montana. Their website has a few pics from when they shipped him to Louisiana.
