I have one that loves to retrieve and one that wanted to do it on his terms. Meaning not to hand, so had him force fetched. Had mine FF too young (13 month)He would retrieve but he looked like you just beat him with a tree branch Like to see some pictures of the Griff Ray B - Here are some pictures of my Lulu. Sorry for the delay in posting - One thing I noticed - I am horrible at taking pictures while Lulu and I are hunting. These were taken over the weekend on a walk. I recently rolled her coat so its a bit thinner than usual.

My GWP VC Socks Won Gulfcoast NSTRA regional Championship with a 4 Finds 4 Retrieves one was a water retrieve and a back and on 4/7/2013 she got her 1X CH , three weeks after having puppies
Thanks to Dr. Tim's momentum dog food and Tina Richter Carles from T&T kennels, if Tina had not told me to run her, I would've of ran her, Thx.

Better late than never JS, that is a good looking pooch. Of course I'm bias, I love dogs, cats... not so much 
There is time, and you must take it, to lay your hand on your dog's head as you walk past him lying on the floor or on his settle, time to talk with him, to remember with him, time to please him, time you can't buy back once he's gone" GBE

a lab would be the last thing on my list for only having one dog in the field, about as graceful as a hippo.
Haha that's idiotic. A lab in the field is much more graceful than a pointer in the water. We're talking versatile dogs here, not just dogs in the upland field. We who? The poster is looking for a "a little waterfowl" meaning mostly upland. Who said anything about a pointer anyway?
I'll take a Black Female every time.

I've got a Brit that would do great sitting in the blind but he ain't gettin' in that water, I guarantee.

Lucy has same bitch and shire as yours, and she is the same way. She tries to catch fish and minnows at the creek. She will find a good vantage point above the water and start looking for them. Once she spots them, she leaps in and tries to catch them. Swims around looking for them and the goes back to her spot.
Ive had to lean over the steep banks to help her get out a few times, only to have her spot a fish and leap back in.
Shopping with your husband is like hunting with the game warden.
Experience is what you get, when you didn't get what you wanted.

Haha that's awesome. We've known for a while he likes running around in shallow water but we spent a couple hours at the paluxy river the other day and he was in the water the entire time. You could tell he was getting better and better swimming. At first he splashed alot but after a few tries he was doing great. He'd get to one side run a huge circle on the bank then sprint back in the water and swim across again, lol.

I had a golden that did everything mentioned for many years. Wish I had a dollar for every time someone told me they weren't true hunting dogs.
