I (very reluctantly) got rid of my hunting dogs due to not hunting enough to justify keeping them penned up. I had a small crew of black mouth curs that I hog hunted with, and a blue tick hound that we had planned to coon hunt with. Now , other than a VERY OLD bulldog that stays in the yard , we are dog less. The ole bulldog is a good dog. But he won't follow me anywhere. He would rather lay around. And I don't really blame him. I am looking at getting a dog to go fishing with. I live on the river and fish at least several times a week. I want to stay away from the hunting dogs like hounds and the curs I had. They wouldn't stay around . They want to hunt to much. I wade this river when I fish and I'm just looking for a dog that would do it with me. And when we get to where we're going he just plays around or lays in the sand waiting on me to move. I know this is asking alot and every dog is different, but I just wanted to see what y'all thought. I really like a chocolate lab. We had a lab as kids and he was a heck of a dog. And smart as a whip. Y'all reckon this would fit the bill for what I'm looking for ?
