For upland game, an English Setter. Setters are known as the "ladies and gentlemen" of the dog world. Great pointer that can be taught to retrieve. Gentle mouth. Wonderful with children. They are affection sponges and give lots of affection in return. Fit into a family well. They can be a bit stubborn at times, though. They respond best to training that incorporates lots of praise and positive reinforcement and require lots of exercise. Reasonably intelligent and eager to please. Quite biddable.
They are definitely not water dogs.
