I owned the best bird dog I ever saw. A little 45 lb shorthair I got as a pup out of an ad in a local ag paper. She amazed me every season and I bought here many a steak for her feats , but she was wound a little to tight to keep in the house with little kids. She loved them but knocked them over like bowling pins. I loved her and will always miss her. I have a 35 lb Brittany now and and for me is the best all around choice for a hunter and a family dog. Loves the water, good nose , intense hunter and great in the house. One of the smartest dogs I,ve seen.
