I'm a responsible 21 year old who will be moving out soon and I want to buy a dog when I do. I want one now, but my parents don't really want another dog. We had dogs until I was about 10.
Like the title says, I want to hunt and fish with my dog. Pheasants and ducks mostly for hunting. I'm new to hunting and haven't had my own dog to take care of ever. I helped out at 10 years old but that isn't really taking care of a dog.
I also want a dog that is a good house pet, good to take jogging and to social functions in the summer.
I'm looking at Labs, GSP's and Britney's right now. I like the size of the GSP and I'm a fan of shorter hair, but those are less important than the qualities of a dog.
Any pointers (pun intended) would be appreciated.
