Zilly, there are many breeds out there that will do the job. You will need to takewhat people tell you and research the different breeds to find on e that fits your situation.A few questions to help guide you to a breed.

You have already stated god with kids, so that is answered.

Will the dog be an inside dog when not hunting or keep in a kennel?

Do you have a good area to allow the dog to exercise?

Will you be tracking for yourself and a few friends or be taking tracking calls from many people during a season? 20 + calls or more.

Will most of your calls consist of going back to camp and getting the dog to track so the tracks are 4-6 hrs or less or will you be looking at tracking 20+ hr old tracks?

Do you hunt upland game or waterfowl?

Are you up north or in the south around poisonous snakes?

Have you ever trained a dog before?
