I will be looking for a dog down the road and want a real do it all.

I do not get to hunt birds much simply because they seem to have dissappeared from the area and I do not have the time to travel. However, I would like a dog that can be trained to hunt birds.

In addition, the dog has to be able to find a downed deer if called upon.

It must also be capable of being a reasonable watch dog and trustworthy if left alone in the house and with guests.

I have been thinking of a German Short-Hair. Your opinions are solicited to solve this conundrum.
