Well, that is a tall order...
A good family dog, doesnt shed, is lazy, but still is a great hunting dog...? Not sure if that exists.
My first Thoughts are a German Shorthair.
You might have tojust accept the hyper part if you want a good hunting dog, when I say Hyper, I mean energetic. Lazy dogs are not good hunters, lathargic dogs are not good hunters, just good feet warmers.
Get a dog with drive, and a Great bird dog has bottom and drive, which requires surplus energy. ( this means an ALL day dog). GSP's make wonderful companions, rather medium sized, and super hunters. Like all bird dogs, they are energetic.
Not sure I agree with this as I have 7 GWPs that live in the house and lay around on the furniture and floor alot. They also get their excersice every day. Just spent 2 days walking the sunflower feilds with 2 of them dove hunting. Sure, they slept good at night but had 110% in the feild. They lasted longer than I did. My 2 yr. old grandsons (twins) come over and are licked to death for the 1st 10 minutes and then everyone settles back down to normal. Oh, did I mention that the GWPs shed very little! Look at the temperment of the parents and go from there.
Good Luck
