Wirehunts points make sense. I am sure he is heavily influenced by the amount of time my girl spent sucking up to him.

I would listen. Its what I did and I could not be happier. Personally I would chose a calm, hyper intelligent dog beginner or not. No substitute for brains. Say what you like about "prey drive" but most of the dogs just look like they have chronic ADHD.

Do you know what happened with the rest of the litter?

shop around and ya could have taken a 0 off and you could have got her for 15 bucks.... would it make any difference ?

We had a lab cross bitch Gypsy she was absolutely amazing we didnt get out onto the deer but she was a awesome duck and rabbit dog, one year she retrieved 2 ducks at once out of a high river. She got poisoned on our property in 2012. In photo she was about 8-9 years old.



We now have our new dog Nitro he is 15 months now he is a Vizsla lab cross, this season will be his first duck shooting, but he has indicated deer the first time we went out with him so we are pretty happy.
