This will get a lot of controversy going. Craig has a Lab that does it all as do others here. Just as one gun can't do it all IMHO one breed of dog can't either. For upland birds I prefer a pointer and my breed of choice is a GSP. I have had some wonderfull ones (Gunner for example) and some that should have never stayed as long as they have but they become members of the family regardless of breed or ability. I no longer hunt waterfowl but if I did I'd have a Lab.
To hunt upland birds without a dog is just a walk in the woods with a gun.
