    Thats a weighted question my friend.
    Ask yourself a few questions.
    What do you shoot?
    What type of ground do you cover?
    Do you want a setting dog or dog for heavy cover
    Etc Etc

    You have a lab so if you go for a ranging dog you might think it's great or it might not be for you. Setting dogs take a bit more work to get them used to water & are full of beans so not the ideal dog when young to sit in a hide after duck!
    Personally I think if you a have a pointer & a springer (or a good lab) you are covered for all occasions! Grand havin 1 dog to do it all but lousy to ever only have 1 dog on his own for most of the day!

    Mate of mine is breeding a litter sprockers at the moment. Be interesting to see how they turn out...
