[QUOTE="lockandloaded, post: 3155437, member: 6848"] I like a 70-75 pound male for my hardcore situations. But I have watched tons of 55-60 pound females get the job done with ease. We hunt all sizes of dogs I think it's you jut need to know what your dog is capable of. But for me if I am having I break a lot of ice or go through 10 yards of real thick buck brush I am going to have a big strong 75 pound male. I have watched several young dogs encounter geese for the first time. It is some of the funniest things I have seen. My feelings on that is I think it all comes down to the basics of training and the ability to keep pushing the dog back until it picks it up and usually the dog will pick up every goose from then out but not before a good flogging if the goose isn't dead lol. I also have seen a dog or two really not want to pick up the goose (fear?goose size?)but pick it up because they know they are supposed to. That being said I own both or did 75 pound male and a 55pound female [/QUOTE]
