I'm thinking of getting a dog for hunting but not sure what breed, any ideas??
I hear the ones with three or more legs are pretty good...

[QUOTE=Kiwiman;126378]I'm thinking of getting a dog for hunting but not sure what breed, any ideas??[/Hi kiwi man , there are a few on here with deer dogs , scroll through the dog section and you will see a few . The versitiles seem to be the most popular , ie German short hairs , wire hairs pointers and Hungarian vizslas . But in saying that there are some very good labs on deer too . There are quite a few things to consider . Do you want just a deer dog ? Maybe a vizsla then or if you want to duck dog as well a lab or gsp or wh pointer ? .
Hi thanks for the info, i will have a read and see how we go
My best Hunting dog was a Curly Coat Retreiver called Sam.
She was awesome on Pheasents and Deer and not too bad on the ducks too.
So many good breeds to choose from.
Good Luck.
Cheers

Shootm, do you find the lab a bit loud in the bush when you're stalking?

GWP, but then I'm biased... Basil, 10 1/2 weeks in this photo. Such a cool character, quite different from my Springer spaniel... Can't wait to get him out on deer once he is ready :cool:

Fark here we go...which dogs best thread...these can be good!
Most of the "'hunting type" breeds from decent breeders will do the job alright with appropriate training. GWP, GSP, Vizsla, Lab, Heading dog/collie, Spaniels, etc etc etc.
I chose a GSP as my first hunting dog. Sure she shivers, whines, annoys the crap out of me, but she is a hunting mate that will NEVER let you down or be "too busy" for the quick hunt after work. While my GSP isn't perfect by any means she is a pretty versatile wee hunter. Heres' a very small selection of photos from trips on;

At the end of the day, a dog can just be a bloody good mate

Up to you what breed you choose, just remember a dog is a 10 year + investment.
