Zeus wasn't intended to be a duck dog, but we took him along a couple of years ago, and he was on his way before the birds hit the water. Smart SOB, matters not if it's duck, woodcock, squirrels, quail, or doves, he brings them back.

They are typically a very smart breed, makes me miss mine.
I have three labs. My first two Chip and Maggie were pets before I got into duck hunting. I semi trained their pup Gordo. He is my primary hunting dog but I take Maggie or Chip on occasion. Here is Chip with his only hunting retrieves and Gordo with my lucky shot (triple on teal from this season).
I need to start taking more pictures of them when they're hunting. Always too caught up in watching them work (plus the camera will end up in the water with my luck) to remember to take pictures.
