Quote #5

“Duck hunting dogs are very popular both as hunters and as pets. Among this group is the king of retrievers, the Labrador. A dominant force in duck hunting circles, these dogs are eager to work in all weather conditions. The ability to get into cold weather and withstand water work is essential with these working breeds. While bird dogs like Pointers and Setters locate the birds for the hunters, the Retriever's job is to go get the downed ducks.”

I chose to share this wonderful quote with you because it states actual facts on why a Lab is found to be a perfect match for the job of a real duck hunting dog. They can outcome almost any weather- that not all dogs can- and they are really good at downing the ducks so that they can bring them back to their hunter.
