Hey guys, I think I am down to deciding between two litters, both of which are on the ground and will be ready in late January and early February. I have talked to a couple of folks on this forum but wanted to throw this out and get some additional thoughts if you would please. I thought I'd post this in the Hunt & Field forum since these are half field lines and I will be hunting this dog. Plus, you guys are knowledgeable on the field pedigrees.
Both are through TopBrass. Both have a field dog line on the dam side and a multipurpose sire.
I am not going to show these dogs. I want to hunt dove and quail with the dog and get into hunt tests. I may do some obedience. I've never tried the game but have been looking at a few of the local retriever and hrc clubs and will hook up with some of those folks and clubs when I get my pup. I more than likely won't get into FT's and above all want a buddy and hunting companion. This will be my first dog since I was a kid so I wanted one that has medium drive, has a great temperment, loves to retrieve, is intelligent and a great companion & family member that I can hang out with, take camping, to the lake and be buds with. I didn't want field lines on both sides b/c it was suggested to me and I agree that a dog of that nature would have too much go for me. A dog with some conformation on one side would provide a more calm dog/pet, etc.

http://www.topbrass-retrievers.com/soxphlyerped.htm (Sox has Push, Cotton and Eli. Phlyer is an OS with some great offspring. This is a repeat breeding and one of the pups from the last litter is Phenway who's owner has posted pics of on this site. Phenway is an awesome dog and great looking too)
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Merry Christmas to all!
