+1 Lab. They are not the best at upland... Not the best at waterfowl... but are very good at them all. The temperment of most labs is probably why many people have them over other breeds along with their versatility. My dog is two years old now. I am single and live by myself but he's very good with small children something I was worried about not raising him around kids. I'll play with him rough but its amazing how he knows that behavior extends only to those who want to play that way.

I would say Springer, because I have one and enjoy him - but they are a little nuts in the house. I guess they settle down after awhile, but I guess I won't know that, since he's going in the outside kennel after putting the hurt on my interior of the house...

A Large Munsterlander(see avatar). They are an awesome sport utility dog, bread bread just for the hunter who does everything from pheasant to grouse to duck Ive even heard of them hunting raccoons. They excel in the upland bird category.

Their also a great family dog. Gentle and eager to please. Though they do have energy to be spent but they are not hyper.

They are an incredibly intelligent dog also.

Did I mention beautiful also

I owned an American Water Spaniel and have hunted over them my whole life. They are great for multispecies duty, but don't shine at any one thing other than heart. They can take the heat better than the bigger breads for early season dove and pheasants and have a downy undercoat with thick guard hairs so they can take the cold-but don't get the burs or natty dread of a springer.

Great dog for a young guy who likes to cover some ground in a hurry and isn't set on winning any obediance trials. They are loyal and headstrong and training takes work. Out of the box few dogs have as much inbread hunt without training.

They are a great canoe dog and can be picked up by the scruff of the neck and set in the water to make a retrieve. After the retrieve take the bird from the dog and lift him back in the canoe-try that with a lab.

I wouldn't recomend one to a first time dog owner or to a household with a wife who likes to be in control but if I were a young guy in a small appartment just starting out-looking for one dog to do it all-the American Water Spanial would be it.

One more thing-They are all from hunting stock.Hans

Look at field bred Cockers.

Small, agile, incredible hunters. Able to withstand duck hunting till at least halloween. I've seen 30 lb. Cockers retrieve geese and they are phenomenal in the grouse woods or pheasant fields. I've never dove hunted one, but they mark ducks well and should take easily to a dove blind.

Good Luck!

I have a lab. Hes an excellent hunter for pheasants and upland birds, has good nose. Doesnt snap or bite at anything. Can get kind of rough when playing around, 90+ #. Very good demeanor. Have to get him lots of exercise to burn off the energy, helps me keep in shape too

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
