I would suggest you look towards what is known as a versatile dog. A pointing Griffon or wire haired German short haired pointer may serve your bill. In fact, you do not want a real fast dog to chase rabbits like a whippet because the dog will be too close to shoot at the rabbit, that is why beagles are used for rabbits, they have good noses and are slow and steady, however tey are not water dogs.
