Default best all around dog?

I want to get another good hunting buddy. (Mine passed a couple of years ago) She was a border collie and lab mix. Beautiful and very versitile. I would like to find another mut like this or something similar. What do you all suggest. I'm currently in the military and living in an appartment[:'(], so I am supposed to not have a dogover 40 pounds. But, my room mate and I plan on moving out in a year and trying to get a house or townhouse or something that we can have a bigger pet. So i guess aslong as the new dog does not grow to 40+ lbs in a year, we should be fine. Anyways, I want a retrieving, flushing(or pointing) dog. Am I asking too much?

What kind of hunting do you do (upland - waterfowl) and how much % of each?

My male field bred English Cocker is right at 38lbs and he's now 2 1/2 years old. Flushes and retrieves just awesome. Stays in range and hunts hard. Perfect manners in the house.
