Mr. Pappy
I raised labs for years and trained them to be some mighty good retrievers. I would duck hunt them, and dove hunt with them. I quit messing with labs several years ago when my bloodline male died right after a rabies vaccination, and then only lab I had left was neutered because he just wasn't bloodline material. He was a smart,sweet dog, just not the best conformation.
I am thinking about getting back into dove hunting, and considering a Boykin. It just seems to make sense that a 30 lbs dog is easier to raise and keep to hunt a 6 oz bird than it is with a 70 lb brute. I love my labs, but since it would be a house dog, like all my retrievers, my wife would appreciate the smaller dog too.
Any information would be appreciated, and any experiences that you have had with Boykins.
Thanks
Pappy
