ROFLMAO!!!!! WOW! never thought i'd generate this much discussion. some really good points. thanks alot guys. i don't have a dog right now. my mom and brother are allergic to them so my dad won't let me get one. but as soon as i get out of the house, it'll be my present to myself!! hopefully around 2-3 years. i wanted to get info so i can start researching the breeds, handling, food costs etc. i think i've narrowed down to either a golden retriever or a lab. thanks for all your help.

My son 10 wants a dog..problem is I am allergic to some breeds.

Anyone here know anything about Portugese Water dogs??

I have a lab shepard cross. she a great hunting dog. she has the smarts of a lab and a better attention span because of the shepard. She is great with upland birds but turns her nose up at ducks, you should see the look she gives me when i shoot one.

I have had a few dogs and, to me, there is nothing better then a GSP, as a hunting dog and as a companion. There is not a better dog

I don't know to much about Portuguese Water dogs but I do know about Portuguese Pointer. Would that make it?

put the Brittany Spaniel on your list of breeds to research! Certainly worth looking into, ours is great!

Got to agree with harbinger,my 16 week old brittany is turning into a fine little dog.

Hey there,
For grouse, I would go with a well trained GSP, or Britany. for the water, nothing beats a good lab. They were bred to get what you shoot out of the water. Get good field lines, spend the time training and you will have a great hunting/family dog. I have a winner, and will be breeding her this Dec. She is from dartmouth, and is out of Kerrybrook kennels. They have a great website. Her parant kennel is Doindogs from Dartmouth, who also have a great website. Whatever you do, research the lines, talk with people who have dogs from the line, and spend the time training. Good luck.
