Been around 2, one was a pup at a nahvda na test, he was a nice pup that had drive. Wish I could have seen him as an adult.. the other was a finished 5 year old who was a tank100-110 lbs. he retrieved ducks all day for us in a sloppy, cold muddy tank and did a fantastic job, owner did say he’s a decent upland dog who just carries too much mass to go big all day. I’m sure he would be fine in a thick pheasant hole, would struggle on the flats

That's out of standard for vdd.....so very rare to see one that big
 
Packing up the truck for sharptail opener. The PP can barely be bothered. The DD stares daggers every time I come in. She always thinks she's gonna get left behind.

This may not make sense, but the PP hunts with passion. The DD hunts with intensity.

You can raise them with cats, and they will be fine, but all bets are off in the field. The dog in my profile picture would get our cat down and mouth him until he was soaked with slobber. She would kill anything with hair in the field.

Idk what other breeds have a standard that has to be followed in order to be breed certified? I just know the vdd standards

You make a good point about dogs here in the U.S..

All breeds have standards but as a standard rule unless you are going in the showring no one cares.
