I agree David. My female is 56lbs. and the male is 69lbs. The tendency here in the US is towards 100lb.+ Labs which is way too big to use for upland game. Most Labs I see are overweight anyway and when they see my dogs they comment that they are "too skinny, what's wrong with them"? Generally they are fat, their kids are fat and they feed their dogs too much without any exercise. Good luck with her- make sure you bring her to a shoot so we can bond.

I could not agree more!! I do a fair amount of my duck hunting from a 13 ft paddle boat and a small lab works well. If you hunt in heavy marsh grass a big powerful lab works but not what I need. I am just amazed at the level of training of the UK dogs and you do not need a shock collar to make them do it. My wife just told me "I want one too!"
