I have had German SHorthairs and agree with everything said about them, but I am now split #1 is my Wiemerarner Ava she is perfect in the field and the home everybody who comes to the house looks at my overly friendly couch potato and sners "thats your bird dog?" until they see her work also she is uncommon enough that she gets all kinds of crazy looks at petsmart!LOL #1.5 was my much missed departed Catahoula origionally we got him to work cattle, but he had one heck of a knack for running hogs(this was several years ago when we lived in the south)he was fearless, but a real sweet heart when he wanted to be.

I currently do not have a bird dog (my ancestors would be ashamed) I have hunted over just about every type of upland and waterfowl dog. I grew up with a Brittany, but I have to say the next hunting dog I will get will either be a German Shorthair or a German Wirehair depending on if I move to Alaska or stay in Oklahoma. I like Shorthairs and Wirehairs because they are at home in an upland field and in the duck blind.

Black Labrador Retrievers. It is a lifetime tradition. The finest bloodlines. Field trial dogs make the best hunting dogs. 95% of National Champions were Black Labs.
If there were any wild pheasants around here, I would have Labs, English Pointers, and English setters.
Bird dogs of Champion breeding are equally impressive at What They Do. They're also quite friendly.
