I've had four Labs. Loved them all like children. Setters are different. If you're a grouse hunter, and I am, I think the Setter is the better tool. That's my feeling. Don't get me wrong, there's something to be said about the Toyota Corolla nature of a Lab. They always get up and go, they don't break down, you can wash them by throwing them in a creek or lake, or hose them off hard, they'll digest bullets if you forget the food, and they never fail to love. But man, walking up on a setter on point on a grouse or woodcock is almost the most fun I've had standing up. Almost, but I forget her name now ... : )
