[quote CatchinCompany]I actually haven't heard that before, and I don't like Elvis either. I'm not knocking labs they can be great dogs too if you get the right blood line. Labs have been bred some many times and a lot of them end up being just a family pet. That's why I would choose something else.[/quote]
Exact reason I went Chessie. They flat out hunt harder than any lab I have ever seen. They can be hard headed though. Trained right they are as good of an upland dog as they are a water dog only problem is they overheat fast if you hunt in warm weather. Mine has been out to SoDak on Pheasants 5 times now and she won't out sniff the pointers but I havent lost a bird with her in two trips out there.
