If you're hunting on foot look elsewhere than field trial lines. Field trial dogs are meant to be very energetic and wide ranging.
I disagree with that for several reasons. First not all field trial lines are big runners. Second is that there are great bargains to be found from field trial lines. You can get a fully trained ready to hunt young dog for a steal just because it didn't make the handlers roster. Last if the dog holds point what does it matter if it ranges? Even the widest ranging French and American Brittany's tend to stay in the same zip code.
