Thank You everybody for your input it has really meant a lot. I think I have narrowed it down to the few breeds that I liked in doing my research which would be Brittany's, Llewellin Setters and German Shorthaired pointers. I am going to try and go out to some field trials and watch these dogs work ...

Would an English pointer be able to hunt in Texas and then when we go hunting in Colorado hunt pheasant and grouse there as well?

The short answer is yes.

Thank You

Ok and how do Llewellin Setter's handle the heat because I have seen quite a few breeders in Texas with them but I wasn't sure.

I do hear about quite a few good English pointer breeders here in Texas, but I was wondering how well Brittany's and small Munsterlanders and gsp's handle the heat too.

We did have two litter mate labs before and they were definitely bonded and it was bad when one of them passed away because the other one went crazy. We were not going to get both dogs at the same time because of that we were going to get them about a year apart. I definitely agree with you on givin...

We will also hunt in Colorado too as we have family up there and we'll most likely hunt pheasant and I would like to try grouse and then maybe waterfowl too.
Thanks,

I like what I'm hearing about the small munsterlander and I like Brittanys too. I will definitely look into local feild trials and NAVHDA chapters close. We already have an English Springer that could flush the birds the pointer points. But I will definitely look the field trials and do a whole lot ...

I'm sorry I guess I should have given more details. I want a dog that can hunt upland and waterfowl but also a dog of medium to smaller size. The one breed I really like is Brittany's but I didn't know if they could hunt water fowl too. That's one reason why I was thinking two different breeds so I ...

The reason why I would like two different breeds is so that we have a little bit of variety because I have seen most of the dogs above mention work and they each have their strong points that I like.
Thanks,
Dalton

I haven't heard a lot about them. Are they good both upland and waterfowl hunting dogs? Do they have good longetivity and how big do they usually get? Thanks, Dalton Yes, they are good at both upland and waterfowl. They are also outstanding tracking dogs for wounded game. We use ours for everything...

I don't know what happened to the other one so I decided to just make a new one because I think I may have deleted the other one. So I am getting two new dogs, but I can' t decide what breeds I should get. All we have had are retrievers and spaniels, but I would like to get a pointer. I do have a so...

Well the reason I didn't list an English Springer is because we already have one but we decided to try a different breeds this time, I think the variety would suite us better.
Thanks,
Dalton

So I am getting two new dogs but I am stuck on a few different breeds. I have had mainly spaniels and retrievers but I would like to get a pointer, but I really like spaniels too. These were my top breeds I just need help deciding. We mainly do upland but I may eventually get into waterfowl too so I...

Hey I am new to here but it seems like a good place to learn more about other types of hunting other than pheasant and dove and big game. Currently I own one bird dog an English Springer Spaniel.
