Yeah they also chase down hares for exercise on the river bed which you can smoke with the 20g.They love river chickens.

Sorry that my post was so confusing. My friend has owned GSPs and English pointers and so is very familiar with their characteristics and exercise requirements and also owns a farm. Pheasants are upland game. Why would he want a lab, he already has a working lab and that dog requires a lot of exercise.
