I like this particular dog breed ,one would fit well with me ,as every one in my extended family has one or more dogs. I would like to bird hunt this animal ,l prefer a female pup 5-7 wkks so as to acclimate and train . I spend a lot of time walking the woods and local beaches .I am soon to purchase a home at the beach .I believe this breed, and I have looked, would fit with me very well
