boy,thats hard one.you have one of best all around dogs,GSP.
SMALL lab,females are smaller would be good choice but they are FLUSHERS.GSP is pointer.
this is from what i have seen and not all breeds.
brittany,lewellin setter,springer ,beagles are ones i saw hunt over years .each does better on different game.
SMALL LAB in my opinion is a real good dog if it comes from hunting stock.
while i was in so,dakota this year a dog i saw really impressed me.
they are called SMALL MUSTERLANDER.i have my name in for pup as we speak and hopefully will have SM in july.
my dog i have liked for 46 years is SMALL FIELD LAB.you cant go wrong with one from HUNTING STOCK.
but now i am a SM dog at top of my list but will always have LAB in my home and hunting behind my SM.

There are a lot of Versatile breeds. The NAVHDA would be a good starting point and has breed info.

I've got a female yellow lab now and she was incredible but she is retired with bad hips and I just ordered an wirehaired vizsla. I have heard real good things about these dogs and I am looking forward to finding out first hand.
