I've been reading about these two breeds on the veratile dog site. The Sm Munsterlander sounds great and but they seem to say the braque is easier to train.

I hunt rabbit (farm trash piles and open prarie), pheasant, doveand blue grouse. I only get out about 4-5 times a year to hunt. I would like a dog that is easy to train and versatile and might even trail deer and could be a great family dog the other 360 days of the year. I've always thought that I wouldn't get a hunting do until I could hunt more and spend more time in the field with the dog, but some things I've read make it seem that these dog are good to go whatever you do.

Anyone have any thoughts or other suggestions? I also like what I've read about the Draghtther(sp), but that seems to be a bit more dog that I need.

Anyway, I 'd appreciate your thoughts. I'm not jumping into anything.
