Labs are an amazing breed of dog. My June dog in the picture was bred from one of the best tournament hunting bitches in the country (The Blast’s Winning Streak, Winnie) and a fantastic AKC retriever stud (Hardscrabble Powder My Buns, Pow.) In June’s prime she was a bird finding machine and great retriever and earned a spot in the UFTA hall of fame as a tournament hunting dog but If I had to make a living putting wild roosters in the bag I’d have to pick my 2 English Springer Spaniels though. They were poetry in motion in pursuit of wild pheasants and relentless retrievers of crippled birds.
