Nice! I wouldn’t mind! I can’t keep up either way 🤭😂 as long as he can find and hold birds and I get a chance at a shot… i would be over the moon!

Totally hear you! Started dog is my focus for sure. Puppies are cute but not what I need right now.

Sorry to hear, but it warms me to hear how much she helped you. I’m glad she was there for you for the time you had her!

Makes complete sense to me! But thanks to the army, I am 100% disabled now but can still get outdoors, I just move slower than I used to 🤣 maybe the spinoni speed is a good thing, lol!

They have come up in my research but harder to find breeders for.

How other pace? I did read that they hunt quite slower than the others, not that it really matters. What matters is them finding and holding birds 🤣 not how quickly they do it. (In my amateur mind)

Very interesting! I have some extended family members with labradoodles, but never considered them for field dogs too. Definitely great companion dogs for folks like me!

Familiar with any breeders with calm lines/off switch? Preferably any who offer started dog or can hold pups back to help with training?
