From what Boykin owners say, they don't she'd much. My DD sheds a lot.
I'll take a Black Female every time.

Thatta boy Wal. I pick my DD up in a few weeks. I like what I'm reading about this dog. Do they shed less than a boykin, or about the same? I like the look of this dog more than the boykin. I once thought they were the ugliest beast ever. I did a clinic for Zane Brown east of Dallas somewhere. He had a whole litter of DD pups in a pen there. They were bearded and cocked that head to the side looking at me when I walked up. Those pups were beautiful. I then ran through 25 dogs like butter. Every Dutch there went to the first snake, I slammed the electricity to them and it was over. They needed no more clrification, snake=bad they had it down. Izzy up at stinkbelly's place in Weatherford. Izzy received the training years ago. I swear if you picked her up and threw her at the snake she would find a way to fly over it. DDs are absolutely smart dogs. No to take away from the labradors at all. I have had them since before I can remember.

Why you call them dutch? Deutsch in Deutsch Drahthaar means German. There are bred to a 100 year old German standard. You can just make out the snake in the shade.

Yeah, don't listen to me. I'm just an idiot.
Lol. Duckbill that was funny! The dude up top has already taken lots of bone before this deer, both mule and whitetail.

I traded PMs with Stinkbelly, he has 2 DDs, One sheds like crazy, and one hardly sheds at all. The one that sheds a lot has I thin coat (and has allergies) and one that doesn't shed has a thick coat (no allergies). Makes sense, allergies creates skin issues, they shed a lot and thus have a thin coat, just like my Molly.
I would be pissed if I got a DD and it shed a lot, my only reason for getting one over a lab is the shedding.

my medium sized poodle comment was not a joke, great dog given all the reasons you stated above...weight in the boat, size and you only duck hunt and so size should not matter at all.
Barney agrees, I agree and I am pretty sure Judd agrees also Not sure I could bring myself to buy a poodle. Saw one run at an HRC training day, it ran like it was afraid it was going to break a nail. It was just one dog I saw, but I remember telling myself I'll never get one. I have read up on them, smart dogs, but they don't seem to have a lot of drive is my impression. My wife would probably love it though.

I been working on the wife for days, it has not been going very good. But today she said "Ok I want to write a contract on what you are going to do when we get the new dog." I got the hook set, just got to reel her in now.
