Best dog I ever had was a mutt Lab and Brittany mix that dog knew what I was going to do before I did.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

Beagle but not much of a upland game dog, but rabbits they are the best.

I want a German Shorthaired Pointer. I had one for 16 years. Smartest dog I ever saw. My yellow lab now is 12. Great dog, lots of heart but nowhere near the GSP in smarts.

These are not my dog's however you can see just how much like Velcro they are... As far as upland game bird dog you will find this breed extra excellent! Not sure how they are with ducks my guess is not too good... They are Vizsla's they are great dogs in my opinion... Here are some facts about the breed... They always stick to their master and serves as a great companion. Initially, this dog breed was developed to serve as retrievers or pointers who worked in close collaboration with hunters. It is the reason why these dogs lean against their masters and act as foot warmers. Vizslas thrive well when they get human attention. They also bond very strongly and are quite talkative to their masters. They make noises, moan, and whine to make sure their owners are aware of them. Since the Vizsla is a people-loving canine, it suits indoors. Isn’t it surprising to know that the Vizslas do not shed? However, this is just a myth. Indeed, the puppies in this group do not shed much. But the statement does not hold true for the adults. The short-haired adult Vizslas do shed a lot continuously. It is just that their hair is short because of which shedding conditions are hardly noticeable. This dog breed is the ideal match for owners of dog-keeping enthusiasts who do not like to bathe their canines regularly. Vizslas are low maintenance dogs, especially when it comes to grooming. Brushing them every week would be enough to keep them mess-free. You can trim their nails at least once in two months. If reports are to be believed, the Vizslas have been around for over 1000 years. They are considered to be the descendants of hunting dogs utilized by the Magyars in Hungary. Since they are known to be talented hunting animals, in Hungary, these dogs were even used for delivering messages in times of wars. ,.,.

IMO you can't really go wrong with a lab, had them all my life. They all were/are trapline companions, upland hunters, duck blind dogs, retrievers of anything and everything and gentlemen house dogs.
My current lab is probably the dumbest lab ever owned and he can be a but of an arsehole but he is far and away the best hunter I've owned. I bought from a kennel that breeds high-performing hunting dogs and hunt champions. Unfortunately, I realized too late that they bred all the good lab qualities out of their dogs in the process. He's still a keeper though.
Eh...wot?

Sounds like a lab is a good fit. We have a deposit on an American water spaniel for this spring, another do it all breed that doesn’t take up as much space as labs. Love our springer for upland but he can’t handle cold water at all. I'm also thinking about getting an AWS from Dale Creek.

Love our springer for upland but he can’t handle cold water at all. I'm also thinking about getting an AWS from Dale Creek. I remember looking at their webpage when we were looking around. We’re getting our from Little Brownies, a few hours south of us in MI. I’ve heard a lot of good things but never seen one work in the field. Feels like the perfect dog for the type of upland and small water ducking I do.
