Short breeds for duck

[willtim]

My vote is strongly for a lab if ducks is your priority. Hunted ducks with numerous breeds and while many will get the job done, none will do it to the level of a labrador (I own a wirehair too). Wouldn't limit yourself based of the counter issue just make sure to start training immediately.

It's obvious you have never duck hunted with a Chesapeake.

I’ve read that chessies are not great for your first duck dog. As they can be stubborn. I’ve also read they can have some aggression issues and attach to only a few people?
