[QUOTE="eyexer, post: 306663, member: 315"] If a lab is dumb enough to try and run with a shorthair he’s toast. But good labs don’t and don’t need to. Especially pointing labs. They’re methodical. Number one screw up I see people make hunting pheasants is thinking it’s a race. Trying to keep up with their dogs. Slow it all down. Make the dog slow down and use their nose instead of running all over the damn place hoping to run over one. Bird don’t get skiddish then either. And your shots are way better and kill percentage goes way the hell up. Don’t get me wrong I’ve hunted behind some good shorthairs but they were good because they had good owners/trainers. But it’s been like one out of ten. I won’t own one simply because I don’t have the time or patience to train one right now. And keep him trained. The last couple labs I’ve had spoiled me. My lab isn’t worth a shit on waterfowl lol. In fact wouldn’t swim until a couple months ago. Now she loves the water but I hadn’t had her out on water yet on a hunt. She just doesn’t like to sit still. Doesn’t like to be pet if you can believe that. She always wants to be out sniffing and looking at things. Probably because she’s a pointer and she really only hunted pheasants first two years of her life. I’m going to try to get her on a water hunt this year though [/QUOTE]
