We will be looking for a new pup early next year and I have it narrowed down to either a GSP or a Lab.
Growing up, I always loved Labs. As a waterfowl hunter, that love, admiration and appreciation only grew. I LOVE Labs! However, after Quail hunting in Arizona with a few guys who ran GSP's, I grew to really like them as well. Now, as the time is approaching for an upland dog, I am actually leaning towards a GSP.
To me, a Lab is a waterfowl dog. I have a really hard time looking at a Lab as a "Pointing" breed. I have talked to folks who have run "Pointing Labs" and they really like them. I am also seeing more and more breeders of "Pointing Labs". However, again, I just do not see a Lab at an upland dog.
What are your thoughts?
Also, any breeder recommendations for either dog near southern Wisconsin, SE Minnesota or eastern Iowa?
