Alright guys,
I currently have two labs. One is almost 14 (male) and retired. And the other is 9 going on 10 (female) and needs to be retired...can't believe I am saying that. The last 9 years have gone by too fast with the female. She has been a great hunting partner. I'm starting to accept the fact that I need another pooch. I haven't been looking, but an opportunity to pick up a lab/shorthair cross came about yesterday. Both the lab and shorthair are great hunters.
I hunt ducks, chukar and pheasant so in theory this seems like it could be a great dog. But of course you never know if these pups would point or lean towards a lab. Does anybody out here have any experience with a pup like this? Any suggestions? All of my life I've had Labs, but at this point I wouldn't mind a pointer either. Time to think about the future I guess.
