well, MY dog is the labrador, not the little beast from hell. I inherited it and enjoy it a lot. It is a sweet dog, dumb as a post, but loyal as dubya is to cheney. It goes hunting with me a lot, however, it has no clue what we are hunting, and tends to eat any downed quail in about two gulps if she gets to them first. My stepson's German shorthair is a magnificently trained bird dog, great nose, holds birds well, and retrieves perfectly. It has been trained to not chase the ever-present jackrabbits out on the desert, which was a feat in and of itself. It also ate the seat off of a brand new John Deere tractor and has spent time wearing a chicken it killed around its neck, which worked. Not sure how to cure it of eating tractor seats.

My dog, Lucy, has literally run into jackrabbits and doesn't even look up if she flushes one. It mainly goes along for moral support, and to keep the world clear of any dropped sandwiches or other food items.

oh, as a follow-up, someone asked me why the dog isn't named Skippy, as a nutless, three-legged dog should properly either be named Skippy or Lucky... well... no, it is Willy, as he sits and licks it all day long, to no avail, as the castration was a success. But Skippy would have been a great name..LOL
The dog also has the wonderful attribrutes of skidding around on its ass on the carpet, barking at nothing at 4 a.m., and halitosis that could cause birth defects in automobiles. It gets incredible diarrhea every time it thunders outside, which earns it extra credits toward the gremlin hall of fame. It shakes like a leaf when riding in a car, until it gets out of breath, at which point it either vomits or howls. at least he doesn't do both simultaneously. But it is lovable as can be, i think, at least that is what my wife tells me.
