Here are some pics. of Tim and his hunts. The first is a picture of him launching from the bank after a downed duck on a state hunt. Next is Tim with some rabbits he retrieved and lastly is Tim with a buddy of mine and some retrieved doves.

I have two labs, Tim is a black lab and RIPS is a yella. Tim just turned one and had a quite successful year this year, the first dove I shot he retrieved. He ended up only missing one retrieve for the year then went on to retrieving ducks and rabbits. RIPS is just 7 weeks old but is showing potential, seems to be a bright pooch so I'll see. I plan on attempting to make train him for pointing upland. Lastly I am taking on a Chesapeake Bay because no one else can get her to settle down so I may have my hands full with that. Next I want a German Wirehair but that won't be for a while.

You really cant go wrong with a Lab, however an english pointer is one of my personal favs as well.

i do not have a dog but am looking to get one within the next couple years. i would use it for pheasant hunting only pretty much, maybe dove on occassion. I'm really lookin at gettin a silver lab, if not then probably just a yellow lab.

I grew up with shorthairs they are great dogs. When I was a boy my first dog was a field trial drop out that I used to hunt pheasants in the fields near my house. She was really good to my 12 year old mind. I loved that little dog.

Bondhu I knew by your name what you liked.lol

My females dam was out of the bondhu lines. The sire was registered english setter though so by rule she is registered english as well.

I use my setters on ducks quite a bit. Where I hunt the water is only a foot deep you don't need a real strong swimmer so they work fine. I do have to watch the cold temps they can take more than some might think but they do not have the weather proofing of a lab or chessy.

Post up some pics. I want to see those lews and shorthairs.

i have always ran lewellins . here in ky i dont think theres any better dog for grouse quail woodcock snipe doves and the occasionaly pheasant. ive even hunted ducks (jump hunts).if you have ever owned or been around one you can see the intenised in their eyes to adapt to the situation you have gave them.the more they are apart of your family the better they are.now im not taking any thing away fromany other breed ive hunted with them all and there bird finding machines.but a good example is my cousin and i where hunting grouse 4 yrs ago and we knew the grouse where high on the hill but holley keep pulling us down the hill finally we gave in and she took us to a wet bottom land we limited in woodcock.she made a bad day grouse hunting into a great day.ive always said lewellins are not birddogs there meat dogs.p.s. my wife likes it that annie (our present dog) sets all the flys in the house and holds them for my wife to kill with the fly swatter.

I'm running german shorthairs out here in Nevada on Chukar, but I have owned and hunted over all kinds of pointers and setters.

I have 2 English Springer Spaniels and 1 Boykin, all males.
I run upland and waterfowl with all of them, but the Boykin is exceptional on the ducks!
