RE: which breeds best
Labs are great dogs, but when it comes to blood-trailing, nothing beats a bloodhound!! They love everybody and when it comes to training them to track a blood trail, there's very little training, if any. Its bred into them. I've used my older bloodhound to find a lost deer and all it took was me to put his nose to the spot where I shot it. I had looked for this deer for over 3 hours and it took him about 35 minutes to find it. They're amazing!! [8D]

RE: which breeds best
the dog of your choice should be a drathaar.I seen one in action and decided i had to have one.They have to pass extremly hard tests in order to be able to breed them.one of those tests happens to be blood trailing.My drathaar is 7 months old and is very good with the kids we have a 3 month old baby and my puppy is very good with her i can even lay her ontop of him and he wont move so he dont hurt her.
the drathaar is awesome with waterfowl or upland game as well as rabbits.if you have any more questions you can email me at [email protected]

If you want a true senses of great versatile hunting dogs, you can't conclude your searc until you have looked at the Weimaraners. They are a great breed, all the way around.
They were originally used to bring down wounded big-game in Germany and have evolved to great bird dogs. They are still used in Europe for blood trails with Deer, Elk, Boar and others. But I have hunted waterfowl and every upland gamebird with them my whole life, and nothing can beat them.

Beagles are nice dogs. I grew up with them. But they are a like slamming your head against a wall to train properly. They smell a rabbit and they could be in the next county. Labs are ranked number 2 behind Newfounlands with kids and are one of the easiest dogs to train. Labradors are the way to go.

I love labs they are great around kids and no other breed can match them on waterfowl (check the records on Field Champions and you'll see what I mean) . For trailing I dunno? Maybe. You can train them to do just about anything. Though for pure trailing I think a bloodhound would be the number one choice. They have wonderful personalities as well.
