My brothers Boykin catches squirrels and flying doves. It's only slow in shallow water with weeds etc growing in it.
I'm sure, but while they look fast with all that movement, they are not (relative to other dogs).
Thanks everyone for the advice still trying to make a decision. Have a 5 year old lab with some ability but needs to be trained heavy. I'm trying to decide wether to send him to someone or start from scratch and send that dog.
You can teach an old dog new tricks but how long will you get out of your old boy. I would keep the 5 year old as a companion and get a puppy, that way you can get more return on your investment. Hopefully many, many successful hunting seasons.
