If you're looking for a companion thatlives with you and hunts with you, a French Brit might be a good choice. They make wonderful companions and are generally gentle spirits. But if you need a wide ranging rough and tumble, or open rough water dog, or a dog that stays in a kennel probably not. I'm not familiar with your grouse, but for our eastern pheasants( if you still find any), ruffled grouse, and woodcock they're pretty great.
Not much can compare with a new puppy to fix a broken heart.
