What I Already Know

Hunters  use Labs or Boykin spaniels when they go duck hunting because of how patient and good they are; they were also given special talents that allow them to do this. Labs and Boykin spaniels are very patient, since they can sit quietly with their owner all day long without even making a sound. When duck hunting, the dog must be able to retrieve things-this is one of their key talents, without this, there would be no need for them to hunt. Duck hunting sometimes takes place near or at a pond; because of this, the dog will get down wet and dirty. This makes the dog a waterfowl hunter; he has webs between his toes that make him a swimmer. With these dogs, come certain attitudes. Some people say that there are not any bad bones in these dogs’ bodies. Others say that a hunting dog should be used for hunting, not as a family dog. I know other wise because my dog is a hunter. She is the nicest dog you could have, a grand attitude, great with kids, a best friend when you need her.

Ths Story Behind My Choice

I grew up living in the southern part of our town; some people might even call it the boondocks. Because I grew up this way, it was a natural thing for all of the men in a family to duck hunt. I noticed that all of them either used a Lab or a Boykin Spaniel as a hunting partner. So I ask, "Why do most people either use a Lab or a Boykin Spaniel when they go duck hunting?" I know people say that since a Lab is a retriever they can easily find the duck and bring it back to the hunter, but there must be more to it than that; and that is just what I want to know. I picked this question out of all of the other billion questions in the world because this is something that sparks my interest. I love to be outside and I love the experience of quietly sitting while you watch the wilderness around you. It is a great way to cope and get some time to yourself; while you enjoy a fun game. The dogs have to sit quietly, and wait with hunter, just watching the ducks fly above them. It takes a calm quiet dog; I wonder if that is a reason they choose a Lab or a Boykin Spaniel instead of all the other dogs in the world.
