yep I have one of those GSP's on my boat so I dont get lost on the lake at night.They do point real well.But why a chessie over lab.

Because CBR are stronger, faster, smarter. I have hunted mine all over the country.He will hunt Quail, Phesants & Waterfowl all with equal skill.

Hum. smarter? Is that why chessies are now the number one dogs used as seeing eye dogs, and drug sniffing dogs? No wait, thats labs.

I own raise and hunt chessie's. One thing is fact, there was 350,000 litters of labs reg last year and only 3500 litters of chessies, you can buy a back yard lap dog in any papper in america for under 200.00 every day of the week. When you buy a chessie you are more apt to get a born bird dog. Most of them are field dogs and not just 5-6 gen. Pets. I personaly have not seen a man eating chessie and have raised them for the past 20 years. I am not saying that there are not any because I am sure some where there is one. But I did own a yellow lab that would bite his own shadow. As to other spacifics as to why a chessie over a lab,
1). All around better marking ability
2). Extreamly strong swimmers
3). Take the cold water better.
4). More versitiele from water to upland.
5). Never seen one that turned its nose up at a bird, love to retrieve.
6). Have not seen near the hereditary problems in them. Hips, eye's
7). Let's face it they are better looking also!

WOW there cowboy!!! You are indeed a biased gun dog owner! Some of your points do not hold water, that is a fact! Better marking ability?? Put down the crack pipe! I have seen a ton of Chesapeake's run hunt test's. Most where sup par markers! Also handling........poor over all! We see poodles do a better job! As for better looking, hey some guys like fat chicks too so what ever floats your boat! Put your Chesapeake up against my ugly, can't mark, swim, genetic defect of a lab! Cash money says my Lab will SMOKE your chessie
