Thread: Breed Recommendation

To be fair, labs are-
good family dogs,
fairly even temperament,
strong constitution on the hill,
cross over into most jonres of hunting easily,
usually have a cast iron guts,
and are reasonably intelligent.

My Wirehair is useless... So wish I'd got lab number 7.....

I've been hoping the spaniel crowd would have come in by now

Spaniels, in my opinion, don't fit the brief.

Harley is a 3/4 lab 1/4 GSP ticks all those boxes

a lab if it is your dog,they are abit more forgiving with trianing than most breeds or a vizsla if you want a pointer.the vizslas i have seen are very good with kids and happy hanging out with pepole. good luck you will need it

why the fuk would you get a fucking Lab, beyond me that one, Obvious Slab Bloody owners pushing their fat fucks. Grab an Aussie Terrier and your sorted, and as a bonus it works stock, eats fuk all, shits little, low shedding and tons of personality oh yeah and beats up slabs.

Had a collie years ago, ate half my house.
only dog I've ever hated.
Gave him away.

i got a 3/4 lab 1/4 weimaraner cross he has a great temperament good with kids not scrapy not a garbage disposal like a lot of labs are i use him for ducks and phesent hunting i have taken him deer hunting but i got a bit of training to do there but he is very adaptible
its hard where i live because i live in the winterless north so take,s quite a drive to get to deer country and the other thing to be very aware of is 1080 it kills dogs REAL easy and stays active in the invironment for a very long time ie in bones of animals that its killed that have rotted away to just bones SO be very aware i know this from my pig hunting days it made some of our dogs very sick or killed them
going back to dog breeds i am a fan of cross breeds as you can the best of both breeds if you work at it look and think hard about what you want out of a dog
the other side is you got to do your bit to get what you want out of a dog

They only chew on things cos they are bored....

Yeah, I didn't have much time for such an active dog back then, with a 2 year old, a new born and 50 hour working week.
It was stupid we took him.
Still I disliked him so much I could not get another.
A year later we got a little Maltese pup. He was very loved and died at 12, that was was a couple years back.
Shit now I feel old.
