Depends what type of hunting you do ... and how you like to hunt (close working dog, or a ranging dog).
I had a viszla, but found it was to light coated to deal with Jan bird hunting.
I now have a Brittany ... and DAMN. !!!! Yeah it’s a bit wired, but nothing like a GSP.
Hunts close, is smallish, listens well... great dogs
With my bum knees, my hunting is more akin to leisurely shuffling along. Maybe riding the ATV along the edge of a field and hopping off every now and then to explore and maybe shoot a bird, squirrel, or rabbit on occasion. A couple of days each season dove hunting maybe. I prefer a close-working dog.
