Thread: Recommended small dog breed for hunting

britt is the only choice suitable for dual role........in the smaller range.
but they are only a bit smaller than a well bred lab or versatile

i have a brit cross dogo argentina: 36kg so not too big. bite strength out of this world, he breaks canon bones and chewed his way thru my alloy mountain bike (the frame!!)
all the weight comes in a smallish package though. very social dog, likes to play with other dogs, sleeps wit the new kitten etc.

Really?

Is a 'britt' the only small do that retrieves? I can her Foxy owners crying all around the world, not to mention the other 50+ other small breeds.

Hey, I do acknowledge that Foxys can have a hard mouth.

Getting ya ducks back half plucked is a problem, I had a good foxy that done pigs and deer too.
I think for a terrier maybe the border terrier is a good option for the water work.
Jagd terriers also can be trained to retrieve very well....
The Germans train dachshunds to retrieve.
