We have 2 Goldendoodles.
They are the best 2 dogs we have EVER had.
They are smart, obedient, athletic as hell, and great hunters. Neither is hard headed at all - they have very loving and calm personalities. They literally don't shed a single hair.
Finn is the athlete and master hunter on the left. Stella is the motherly supervisor, on the right. Expensive mutts you got on yo couch. Glad to hear they fit your hunting to a tee! lol

I had a labradoodle that looked a lot like yours. Very smart, amazingly athletic and obedient dog. She knew a bagfull of tricks and could learn another one in a few minutes with the help of a few treats. She was my pal for 9 years until cancer got her in 2015. I still miss her. Well dang, I’ve been wondering where the stray I took in 2 years back got his looks. Haven’t seen him shed either. 25lbs, lean like a whippet under that scruffy coat. Master escape artist, climbing or digging, can’t leave him in the yard. Gentle and good natured, tho he did do a Cujo routine convincing enough to stop a miscreant from just walking in my open front door one night. Earned his keep for life.

He's got Charlie Manson eyes, I wouldn't [bleep] with him.

Used to be dogs weren’t “breeds”, they were types, bred for ability first, their form following their function. Kelpies are still that way, heelers too until recently. The original Jack Russels too into the ‘70’s at least. Patterdale terriers,mountain curs prob’ly still that way.

I run as a back up if I see a badger, rattle snake, porcupine, wolves, stray dogs, or hunting by roads I can give the dog a heads up. I guess you dont need if your dogs hunt 15 feet from you lol. mine range out to 200 to 300 yards when cutting off running roosters or up chasing chukars or sharpies. When you're hunting pressured roosters on public land and they take off running in the tall grass and cattails 150 yards in front of you what do your dogs do? Do they just chase or will they make a wide running half circle to cut them off? I couldn't find her for 15 minutes in tall grass when she locked on a rooster. I had to use beep function on collar to find her. I have gps collars on my dogs now Like to see some of your super labs in action hunting pics. How long will they hold point? How are they on pressured wild birds on public lands? How are they up in steep basalt mountains chasing chukar? How about the deep woods chasing and pointing hares and blue, ruffed and spruce grouse? Did you give them any snake avoidance training? lol I can hunt my dogs 3 days in a row ( plenty of off season running) with breaks during the day. All the labs I ve seen on upland last about 2 to3 hours and are done hunting for a few days. But that of course is due to thier genetics lol. And I like to run my dogs through fields after guys with labs hunt them as I know they'll always miss a lot of birds cool pics, noticed the shock collar. my buddy has to run one with his pudelpointer. never needed one with the 2 labs I have owned that I hunted.

And I’m interested in seeing these great labs in action too Some people run their mouths and dont actually do anything. We all know the types. People with real "hunting dogs" understand the amount of time, expense and dedication it takes to put out a good dog. A great one comes along maybe a few times in a lifetime. No substitute for wild bird contacts the first few years of their lives. Not returded preserve birds

Ribka Love your whiskery dog, will have one myself at some point. But " Labs Don't have prey drive" ?? Dude... Your description of your hunts : 3 days in a row with breaks? That's what I consider maintenance here on my Lab. Honestly. Water AND upland, any temperature. Ducks, geese, pheasant, grouse, chukkar, quail, squirrel, rabbit, huns, hell she goes mental when we go fishing! Labs can't hunt upland more than 2 or 3 hours before breaking dow? Well.. I guess my line didn't get the memo. Not meant as a schlong measuring contest, but I think you may have been exposed to some fat/lazy labs? Dunno Anyway, enjoying the pics, Dan ETA: agree with you 101% regarding exposure to wild birds as young as possible and as consistently as possible. Nothing better for a hunting dog with a lot of energy than to focus it on what it's made for.
