Hunted over (virtually) every breed out there. Brits have a terrific work ethic in the field! They are also wonderful people dogs.
If my wife hadn't agreed to slightly larger breeds for my upland hunting (wirehairs, both german and griffon), brit was on my short list. Given their smaller size is overshadowed by their upland hunting prowess, they're tough to beat pound for pound in the field or in the house.
