I was just wondering if there was a dog that was just as good at hunting pheasants and it was at retreiving water fowl??

I don't know about dogs, but there is a guy I know that is just as good at dropping fluke as he is at dropping tog.

Hope that helps.
Hmmmmm, Im sorry, what is your biggest fluke to date??



Go ahead, you can tell us..


:D
 
My lab does well at both.
 
Labrador Retriever :D Although, many other breeds can be taught to hunt both upland and waterfowl too. My one Brittany took to water like a fish and I bring her waterfowl hunting whenever I go (even though I know next to nothing about waterfowl hunting and I barely ever get out). First time I took her goose hunting she wouldn't sit still and really tested my patience. But after I shot at the first goose, she changed her attitude and now sits still the whole time.
 
Best better believe it. My femal Golden ret. hunted everything she learned from a 150 pd. lab.as a pup and was a phenominal upland as well as water dog. Prettiest hard core dog I ever had God rest Jessies soul.
 
Jon, when your on the waterfowl you don't need a dog to stay still per say just listen to commands to ret. I never had a bird ever flare any birds either field or water on our dogs ever. Theres nothing more warry than a coastal black duck and they seemed to like the dog outside of the blind moving. I figured it was like having a toll dog attracting birds.
 
Labs are absolutely, positively THE best dual purpose dog. (I'm just trying to bust TJC's cannoli [hihi] )

Labs are the most popular dual purpose breed, anyway. Icy cold, rough water ..... tough pricker fields.

I've had a few.
 
ALL of the european versitil breeds do and they do not stop their many retrieve ducks one day, chase birds or rabbits the moring of the next day than at night blood trail big game and start all over again the following morning.
 
I have Vizsla he is doing great for a puppy and before I had him I had a weimaraner for 12 years he was great in feild and the house and kids. But I got Vizsla from Pittsburg and my weimaraner from Missouri they breed them larger then the breeders here do my weimaraner was a rock solid 92 lbs with a blocky build like a lab. My new vizsla is only 6 months old and he is 60 lbs most breeders here breed them to be 60 lbs full grown.
