If you have the patience to teach a 5 year old boy to tie his shoes, manners at a table, to pick up after himself... that is the kind of time and patience I'm talking about. If you don't have time to "raise another kid", you don't have time to train your own draut or wire hair puppy. |
Do a Google search on "Continental dog breeds," also known as hunt, point and retrieve (HPR) breeds. I believe the DD is considered a continental breed. Some of these breeds have goofy names (Pudelpointer?!) and are a little obscure but can be found. The premise is that people needed a versatile dog that can do it all. I doubt any of them will retrieve as well as a lab or stand game as well as a dedicated setter, but for versatility you are likely going to sacrifice some level of specialized skill.
Also look up the North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association. |
Another possibility would be to get 2 dogs so they can split all of the hunting needs you have for a dog.
