re: Labradoodle for duck hunting?

if you want a hunting dog get a damn bird dog. Not a crap shoot on health, shedding and the ability to learn. If youre going to spend $1200-$1500 on a dog you can get a damn good bird dog. If you spend a little more, than an even better one.
Lab, golden, GSP (good luck), Boykin etc....

Do your research, don’t buy from Uncle Joe down the road who puts our pups every 3-6 months and you can find a great dog.
