What are some other breeds that you folks have hunted over? Something besides labs, chessies, boykins, etc. I saw a guy at the ramp once in college with a huge Rott that the owner claimed was a great retriever.

Standard Poodle is supposed to be a great waterdog.

Poodles. They aren't hardy enough to stand in cold water, otherwise they can do well if trained properly. An excellent house dog as well. American Water Spaniels and Irish Water Spaniels are two other options.

Chihuahas are great for hunting out of a kayak.
Australian Blue Heeler?
I know a man that hunts upland birds with his, and dry field ducks.
Damn smart dogs.
Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

i've thought about getting a weimaraner. good lookin' dog and supposed to be a helluva retriever.
From WIKI:
The Weimaraner (/ˈvaɪmərɑːnər/VY-mə-rah-nər) is a dog that was originally bred for hunting in the early 19th century. Early Weimaraners were used by royalty for hunting large game such as boar, bear, and deer. As the popularity of large game hunting began to decline, Weimaraners were used for hunting smaller animals like fowl, rabbits, and foxes. Weimaraners are great water dogs as evidenced by their webbed toes.
always wondered about weims.
Every WM I've ever seen is like a hyperactive, hardheaded, disobedient GSP on crack. Beautiful dogs but nothing I'd really want to keep around.

You REALLY have to do your homework if you're looking for a hunting weim.
I've got a springer who has made a really good meat dog. And I've seen a guy use an Australian Cattle Dog(basically a heeler with a tail) for all of his bird hunting. Lots of GSPs, Brittanies, and a few GWPs out here. Got a friend that uses his Llewellin for quail, doves, and jump shooting ducks.

"A man may not care for golf and still be human, but the man who does not like to see, hunt, photograph or otherwise outwit birds or animals is hardly normal. He is supercivilized, and I for one do not know how to deal with him." Aldo Leopold
i dove and duck hunt with a english springer spanial that lives in the house and rides in the front of the truck. best damn dog i ever had.
I'm torn between a springer and a lab for my first dog. I've always had labs growing up but theres something about a springer that gets me.

I feel like labs just get "it", whether "it" be hunting or family.
