RE: First dog.Need deer tracker and bird dog
I would get a labrador for both, but i dont think you will get a dog to do BOTH very good. They are smart dogs but it would be hard to train a dog for both. BTW- i would get a bluetick for bloodtrailing, get a beagle. beagles as a species learn faster and have a comparable nose to a bluetick. Not only that, they are easier on a leash than abigger bluetick. I got a redtick/walker cross that bloodtrails that nearly pulls my arm out of socket sometimes.
