re: Labradoodle for duck hunting?

Did the dog die or poop out the rod???

Have a golden doodle. Wonderful dog. Not much retrieving drive. Wouldn’t take a chance on a doodle. Too unpredictable

Harsh man.

I went with PP because the DD has a strong fur drive

Trouble with that is... they may kill your neighbors pet. Or when your bird hunting they may head out on a rabbit or deer

we have jumped plenty of both upland hunting but I just call em off and they listen! thats why they are called a versatile dog so your PP just watches rabbits run by?

Just dropping a few gifs of my dog when she was a pup. There appears to be a lot of “doodles are smarter than labs”. That may and probably is true, but I just want to point out that labs will be plenty smart enough for anyone looking to train a hunting dog. If you’re not picking a lab because of the intelligence of another breed, I think that’s a foolish mistake. Not shitting on anyone’s dog or breed, just want to hammer the point home that labs are very capable learners.








I can’t find the video of her using the bell to go outside, same time frame as those gifs. Probably cause we got rid of the bell with the quickness. She abused the shite out of it. Little turd liked to play outside, and she learned quick that it wasn’t just a potty bell. One ring ticket to go run around in the yard.

The best dog I ever had was a lab/golden retriever mix I got for free. The mom was a golden and dad black lab that jumped the fence. The mom and dad were both decent akc bloodline.

Her nose was incredible and she a drive to retrieve I have never seen since. The thing would pick up decoys with us. She started doing it on her own one day while we were picking up. I miss that ??.

She had medium to short blond hair. When bred to a black lab her yellow pups had short hair, and her black pups had long golden retriever like black hair. They looked like flat coated retrievers.
