I have a 2 year old choc lab named Parker. He is definetly a house dog , but when it comes to hunting he " Has to get dem birds." I made the mistake of letting him sleep on my bed, and now he thinks its his bed. LOL ...Oh well a small sacrifice to make for my best buddy to be rested up for a days hard hunting on the chilly Niagara River ( yea thats right above Niagara Falls......WAY WAY WAY above the falls....Lol). Like a guy mentioned before ...I have no competition winner, but he'll bring back the bird for me. Good luck fells
