I could think of a dozen breeds before I'd resort to a lab.

English pointer, gsp, gwp, american brittany, french brittany, English setter, irish setter, Gordon setter, visla, griffon, etc.

But I will say if you're a waterfowler, it's a great breed. Congrats on yours. Please use it.

Yeah me too. I've had Beagles, Plotts, Blueticks, Airedales, GSD's, Rottweilers and several mixed breed mutts but never a Lab. Nothing against them. Just never really cared to have one.

Beautiful dog and photo.


Give Lena a big wet kiss from me, and pat Eileen on the head...scratch her behind the ear.

America breeders have changed the Labrador so much that an American Lab needs a different category than the original English type of Labrador.

We've got one of each. Definitely a lot of differences. Both are great pups though!

We have a lab cross we adopted from a lab rescue organization. Ten years old now. Happiest dog we have ever had.Hell on rabbits,squirrels,but not a hunter.Only a great house, family dog, and wife protector. With me it's every man for himself. She sleeps in the middle of our king size bed, fights me for her place on the sofa.. My wife calls her a velcro dog because she is always at her side. Big difference from our last dog, a blue heeler..

My wife was on a new puppy kick a few weeks ago. Thought I had her talked into a lab. Buddy raises them, English style, imported semen, hardcore hunting stock, priced her at $2400. Told him we only wanted one, not the whole litter....

Wife ended up getting a stinking golden doodle mutt. Calmest dog Ive been around. I’m going to do my best to make it a field retriever. Retrieving tennis balls with enthusiasm right now.

Remington - The best dog I ever had. He was taken from us way too soon. He got Lymphoma when he was 8. It was a rough 4 months for the poor guy.
