Why labs make the best hunting dogs.

OaN, Okie, and Shadow. I'm working on the dog power (added a new pup to the crew) but you guys are more than welcome to come out and I'll be sure to put you all on the quail and our hills are a little more forgiving than the desert.:cheers:
 
relatives in California- have been thinking about going visiting next year-

could be I'll drive out with the Britt's- what would be a good time- perhaps before our upland season starts ?
 
And to think this thread started tongue in cheek.
 
Not sure where your relatives are Shadow but around here (central valley) it is damn hot before seasons open and stays hot through the end of October. First weeks of November are good but the best weather and hunting occurs in January for quail.
 
Leave it to Moe to stir the pot.:D

:) Moe knows very well how to get the hair standing on the back of a hunting dog owners neck.:thumbsup:
All in All a pretty dang good thread. Can't see anything wrong with a guy bragging up his bird dog, no matter the breed.:cheers:
 
"Best" is relative..

I think the best dog I ever hunted over, is the one thats out in front of me at the time.
 
As Stieger always says

Nothing wrong with a good Lab, as long as you put enough

BUT: I can't figure someone bragging up a yippy little non hunting dog.:confused::(:eek:

Well for sure, ain't gonna see it on these forums.
 
Pointing labs to me are the way to go. Tough as nails and stylish, the pointing lab gives the hunter the best of both worlds, the anticipation of a point and a remarkable retrieving instict that most pointing breeds do not poses.


Sorry I would keep the Flabadore the same old Flabadore around here.:D
I got rid of pointy things to avoid stumbling around in thick crap doing the dogs job. "flushing game";):laugh::nutz:
:cheers:
 
Flush'em,bag'em, move on with your day.

I really like January in Kansas- but we'll see-
not this Janaury- probably next-
I've got two youngsters that haven't seen quail- would be superb if I could get out your way and you could show me where 100 or so quail are-
they don't seem to have much trouble with roosters or rought going- elevation in your high country we may not do so good- would be fun if perhaps you could give a flatlander and his Britt's a try

couple hours covering ground in this stuff is sort of what I would say rough going- she had 3 backing her- yep- it was one of 20 some hard held points on pheasants today in a 2 hour hunt- I took 51 pictures

here's another one quail hound- somehow can't quite figure how to clip more than one from Photobucket and post

see the pheasant- he had 3 backing him- I walked up and looked where his eyes were looking- backed up- took the picture- backed way up to get all 4 in- moved in and kicked it up

You know my dad used to say " if you don't think your breed is the best, you should probably change breeds". I'll make a deal with you guys, if any of you have a honey-hole hunting spot we could have a contest:D

I have a place south of Hays- I'll run one of my Britts with your lab- yours has to back, sit, or you can control to not bust in and flush mines point- 1 shot per flush- neither can fight for a retrieve- first one there has to be able to bring it to the gunner-
