Can’t go wrong with a Boykin or AWS.
Both are considered little brown dogs!!
My AWS is now 10 and still going strong, This was a retrieve during my daughter’s first youth hunt this past Spring. It may be her last retrieve unless I come up with an easy hunt this fall.
Her replacement will...
Throw a tennis ball or bumper and off he goes full speed in cold water per FL standards. Drop a duck in front of him and he’ll look at me to see if I’m going to get it. Definitely better at upland game!!
Pretty sure he’s a Goldendoodle, he was a stray at a deer hunt camp. He’s got a great temperament and a little tough to hide in the blind. No shedding has been a plus!! I’ve pretty much only owned spaniels, so he’s a little bigger than I’m used to.
Welcome and I’m more of a lurker on this site - love what you do on the OG site - met you at STA2 years ago and almost built a similar layout based on your success that day!!
