It doesn't compare to a dog that can take a cast and run blind retrieves though.

I agree, on well behaved. I would have to say that the main requirement (besides actually fetching the duck) for a good hunting dog to me is that it doesn't go until its released and that it comes back when commanded.
Saves me from shooting a dog in the back of the head when it breaks and saves me from being that idiot I hear always screaming at his dog across the whole parish to come back. I have passed on some chances to go on nice hunts because I absolutely can't stand dealing with those dogs and their owners.
