As much as I love Labradors, a well trained Chessy is a superior hunter at nearly every game. Overall they are just closer to their roots and everyone I have met are just full of hunt and determination. If not for their possessive and sometimes unpredictable personality they would be the ultimate gun dog, a part from looks of course.

I almost agree , I would choose a chessie every time, granted they do take more training in the obedience department, but hands down when it comes to a hunting field type dog natural abilities
