Anytime I would grab the 10 gauge Duke would start heading for the tree line because he knew I was going to shoot some squirrels. He was the only one that survived from his litter so he was the only one that got milk we figured perhaps thats why he got that big but im no expert on labs. Duke wasnt a hunting dog either he just loved tagging along while I was shooting squirrels, never really seen the point of a dedicated squirrel dog myself.

Always good to have a canine buddy along on a hunt, but you’ve not experienced all that squirrel hunting can be until you’ve hunted with a good squirrel dog.
