    I've got a pp but almost went with a dd as you can literally do anything with them.

    Griffs are about as versatile as you can get, as well,,,,they point, they retrieve, love the water and don't freeze during the colder months, plus they track. When they're soaking wet it takes them a very short time to dry off. They are about the most social hunting dog as you can find. I really like their size,,,,,my female tips the scale at 48 pounds.

    I use her for upland. Trained to track and waterfowl but don't do much of it. Very similar to the griff above. The only reason I'd go with a pp over a griff is they have historically better testing scores.

    We have an OOOPs, (Springer/Golden) awesome little dog. A mutt from 2 health tested Field Champion bloodlines. Waterfowl and upland she works very well.

    Iv got a dog that the breeder said was a labradoodle. Hes red in color like a setter and has longer course hair.
    Dog has a nose like no lab iv had...hes a 1 1/2 now and is great at seeking it and flushing upland birds, still working on the retrieving part. So far two trips out with the gun this year and two pheasants.
