Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire What breed of dog if you had time to own just one more?

Not even a question - Brittany!

Hands down, an Australian Blue Heeler. A Border Collie would be a close second.

Afrikaans Boerboel

Everyone is as loyal to their dogs breed as their dogs are to them.

I'm glad to see that!

My dog Winnie is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier/Yellow Lab mix. She is smart, quick to take commands, protective, well behaved and a genuinely good dog. The vet says she is a strange combo, but I think the mix is just right for someone of my age and lifestyle, and even my granddaughter who is eight years old. I will get a recent pic of her this evening and post it.

1) Mountain Cur

2) Heeler (Red or Blue)

Another vote for mountain cur, they make a great all around dog - loyal, smart, great hunters, great watch dogs.

I'd have to second the Dachshund. I never liked them when I was younger, and would have said you were crazy if you'd have even suggested I'd ever own one. Then I had an ex-girlfriend give me one, and I've done a complete 180. He is my favorite dog ever (and I've had a few :), and I wouldn't trade him for any amount of money. I think that dog loves me more than anyone else in the whole world.....

My next dog will more than likely be another Deutsch Drahthaar. But, I also foresee a Jagdterrier in my future.

I love the labs, and have had a couple...
But generally speaking, they are plagued with health issues, so I would not get one from just anywhere. If a lab is what you decide on, I would definitely get one from a reputable hunting lab breeder that has given health consideration in it's breeding program.

You might want to consider a hunting terrier of some type (Patterdale, Jagd, etc) since you don't plan on waterfowling or upland bird hunting. The hunting terriers are fun for just strolling through the woods and hunting...whatever!
And, from my experience, even though they're small, they can get out of the way quick as lightning.

I had a brittnay spaniel that was hell on woodcock and quail I wouldn't mind another if I got a posistion I could care for a dog and work at the same time.

Probably a Carolina Dog. I have a mix now, that actually belongs to my son, that is close and may actually be part Carolina Dog. I figure as soon as my son takes his dog home with him, it will be time for me to get a Carolina Dog and that will probably be my last.

Cane Corso

Hunting Cocker or Springer. I'm running out of time, but still plan on getting another.

Lab

Lab.

We had a Weimaraner and a Vizsla when I was growing up, loved them dearly, and still love the breeds to this day. I always said I would like have one of each, and this looks like the year to do it, going to be settling down, so it is time.

I agree but make it a true Brittany, French Brittany!

I have Fox/Rat Terrier mix.

She's the smartest most loving and out & out fun dog I've ever owned.
She retrieves better than the retrievers I've had, is very protective of the property and is a squirrel hunting machine.

She is one fine looking dog !

German Shorthaired Pointer. A good line of them are loving to a fault , gentle with little kids and dogs, unreal smart, trees squirrels and bobcats, points quail, retrieves ducks and dove, trails up wounded deer, coyotes, etc. and keeps dimocraps from yard and home.
