Consider a golden retriever! Puppies in August!

My wife talked me in to getting out first golden last year after 25 years of labs.  Nothing but great things to say about her.  Glad to see more folks promoting the field lines.

The sponsorship for Hunt Wa is a nice addition to using the place to sell stuff. Can't remember what I paid when I advertised a litter but, it wasn't much. Far less than a stud fee. lol.

My wife thinks our dog needs a playmate, our dog was from the same stud as you use, I'm not sure I'm ready for two dogs though, lol.

Right? Having two dogs is not 2X the work, more like 4x.     But also at least twice the fun.

Your lab looks almost identical to my old lab. Good looking dogs.

I love Hunting with Goldens.

I love seeing a good hunting line.  I hunted with mine all through college and until the age of 14.  He had a little longer coat than yours, but was dark, lean, and athletic.  People would always tell me he had some setter in him, and I would tell them to do some research.  I chose a golden because I was going to school and needed a calm, easy to train dog that wouldn't tear up my apartment.  Hair care is an issue.  They shed, and it is long.  No more or less than other breeds, but it is more noticeable.  Burrs are a pain.  They have to get cut out.  However, the hair is a bonus in the field, because I could push him through gnarly crap that would cut up other dogs.  These lines have less cancer and hip problems typically.

They don't cover near the amount t of ground as a pointer.  I would say about 2/3 less.  Mine could hunt all day in any weather and terrain.

I would take a golden over a lab any day of the week due to better behavior and disease issues cropping up in labs.  If you have the time, patience, and energy to deal with a pointer, they are the far superior breed for upland bird.

After spending a weekend with Amber and one of her last pups, I would buy in a heartbeat, with a new house and wedding coming up in August, I couldn't make it work out though :/
