but a well bred litter of dogs will ALL perform well in the woods.
I am not so sure about that. I think this depends hugely on the breed and what you are wanting to hunt.
That brings me to my question for the original poster. What exactly do you want to hunt? Birds, I guess? Small upland game like squirrels? The answer can make a big difference in what you need and how much you spend.
