I clearly remember my wife saying that when I stopped flying airliners and retired, that I could have a hunting/truck buddy dog. Pick me a dog that is mostly likely to:
Range closely (I know it can be trained for this, but some breeds are better than others).
Be Sweet by nature.
Be friendly to most people, but especially family (son is a grown adult now, so we have no kids or grandkids).
Mostly upland, some moderate weather waterfowl.
Reasonably easy to train (I am a firm believer in a disciplined dog at home and in the field)
Prefer a pointer or setter, but open to all dog types.
Prefer under 55 lbs, preferring around 35-40 lbs.
Prefer a male (fixed) in a particular breed, but open to females.
I'd be interested in training dog with a local hunt club.
One that doesn't shed excessively (I know all dogs shed, except perhaps a poodle or vizsla.
One that doesn't poop or pee...well, maybe next century!
Pictures welcome!
