I have three and for me they are the best dog around. My pup won the nationals in the puppy stakes in Wyoming in field trials and still likes to spend time on the chair. They are called the Velcro dog because they want to be with you at all time and I do mean at all times. They are sweet, good hunters, protective, and can be whatever you want. Don't get one if you want to lay on the couch without them on you. They don't do well with personal space.
