This is not just my opinion, but the opinion of many, many trainers, breeders, etc. Here's a brief summary on the Field Bred Springer and why they are the best when it comes to pheasants....

You know what they say about opinions.
If we were to go by opinion, obviously the number one choice of hunters is the Labrador.
If we were to narrow the field and include only field bred "American" Labradors I think the contest would be much different. We just don't have easy access to quality field dogs here in this country.
