I'm finally able to get a hunting dog but am kinda stumped as to what to get. I'm going to be hunting upland birds (pheasants, chuakar, grouse, quail, etc) and maybe duck (a tiny bit i'd say 95% upland 5% duck if that) it needs to be good with kids as i have a 1.5 year old and another in the next year or so i also have a non hunting dog that it needs to get along with. i have a yard and am going to be joining a bird dog club in my area. my wife is kind of set on a cheaspeake bay retriever are they any good at upland bird hunting? I've been told that flushers are easier to train is that true? So what would you guys recomend for me? sorry for all the questions
He said in his 1st post that his wife wanted a Cheaspeake, She is doing the hunting
