You are a lucky man, Andy. My wife quickly fell for my labs over the years. But labs are easy. At eighteen months old, my setter still has us (yes, both of us) on the verge of banishment.

I have two Labs, and I call them the Honda Civics of dogs. They just go, and you hose them off and leave them out and they're fine. Sure is more maintenance with a setter, but their style makes me feel like one of those dudes in the old paintings that always has a setter on point. Just need a little tweed vest and one of those stylish chapeau's.
