I need some help deciding what my new hunting dog is going to be. After losing my pup a few weeks back I feel like it's time to get a new dog and this time I want it to be my hunting dog as well as a pet for my girls. My dog I lost was about a 30lb dog which is why I wanted a smaller frame dog, the Boykin. But I just still keep looking at labs. We already have a 75lb lab that is a great family pet but scared to death of loud noises. If I did get a lab I would want a smaller frame 60ish lbs or less. Help me decide! Thanks

If:
Family dog is priority #1... it's a draw. Labs are amazing but shed iif they will be inside
If hunting is priority #1.... nothing comes close to a quality breed lab
Some of the worst labs I've had were the best family dogs you could ask for, and the best labs I e had were priceless.
Hope that helps
