So, I'd suggest picking a pup from a litter that is used for waterfowl and not selecting the pup that runs around like a mad man.

Yeah. Like a litter of Labs. Or maybe Chessies.

Chessie's, they're really good at protecting your yard and working in icy water. Cold tolerance for labs and wirehairs is about the same.

Try and get a gwp x lab, very versatile dogs. It would be more suited to the job you want it for i would think.
