>I will be pheasant hunting. I have done research and a lab is the breed I want for this. I would be getting a pup. I had one in High School, and I know all about the ummm... well... intricacies of the breed.

Then a Lab sounds good - but, of course, all pupps tend to be boisterous at times and a big boisterous dog is more of a handful than a small one...
If size is an issue then a Springer might be an alternative?
