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.
