re: What kind of dog do you have and do you hunt with it?

English Springer Spaniel - field bred.

Mostly ducks (wood ducks primarily), and dove. She's perfect for the areas where I duck hunt as she is a little smaller than a Lab. I can fit her in a small kayak and get in tight duck holes where others can't go. She does okay on more open water hunts, but a lab would be much better in that situation. However 90% of the time her size makes her much more advantageous given the flooded timber I hunt. Plenty of drive in her and super birdy.

Plus, she's excellent with my young children. A fantastic dog all around.
