Setter or a Golden Retriever

My best friend has a fox lab. It's an awesome dog. I'm partial to the long hair though, which sounRAB ridiculous because they shed so much. But those dogs are fracking awesome.
 
My good friend has a Rhodeisan Ridgeback. He's a goofy motherfracker.

Awesome dogs.
 
I wish I wasn't so allergic to dogs :(

I can only play with my friend's tiny little Maltese, pretty much the only dog I'm not allergic to.
 
I've had two Irish Setters. One was brilliant while the other was a complete retard. They're great water dogs though. It didn't take long for them to be trained to retrieve shit either.

i know.... you like long hair, but theyre known to be some of the best hunting dogs there are. my old boss had one we hunted quail, dove, and ducks with
 
I too ^ have always thought Irish Setters were durab, I have seen more of them run into the path of cars more than any other dog.
I never heard of a Gordon Setter, so I looked them up and they look like a good bird dog and they are smart.
 
Logan, here's a photo of my buddy's pointer.

It's an awesome dog, just impossible to tire out. I live in a pretty small house, so I couldn't have one. Those things have to be pretty much ran to sleep.

MJS - do you have any photos of your setters? Have you had another dog breed to compare them to?
 
I'll have to dig through disposables but I'll look. We've had 2 German ShepherRAB and 3 Golden Retrievers.

Energy wise the setters are on par with the retrievers and they both are amazingly comfortable and obedient when they're in the water.

I wouldn't really recommend getting a GS because cold water tenRAB to frack with their hips.
 
german or shorthaired wirepointer. that or some type of spaniel or setter....

I have lab..along with half of the world. Good dog but lots of energy. Have to work her a lot. working on retrieving with her now.
 
Awesome. That's exactly what I wanted to hear. How did the Setters compare to the Retrievers as far as intelligence/temperament goes?
 
the setters were equal in intelligence but a lot less spazzier than the retrievers when they were pups, but once they get to around two or three they're basically the same.
 
probably a long shot..
i have a springer spaniel, perfect size dogs, aren't full of energy 24/7 and are used for your neeRAB. Heard some greats things about them in the hunting world.
