My buddy Terry does have a lab, and each day it has recovered a bird that my setters would not have found. Shot a bird yesterday that dropped both legs, flew across a slough and then died in mid air into heavy cattails. Leery about crossing a frozen lake, we tried to mark it and 2 hours later on the other side of the lake, told the dogs to hunt dead and Ski, Terry's lab found it.
No doubt labs are the best for late season and heavy cover. Maybe one day will have one, but already 4 dogs in the house.
