We want a close ranging versatile dog, good with kids and youth hunters. Hunting mainly chukar, grouse, and pheasant.

shadow maybe you missed the most important part of the question
If I remember my English classes I think the qualifications are stated so you can make comments about those characteristics between the two breeds. I didn't see Spinones or Brits or GSP's mentioned as in the mix.Can someone enlighten me to what would be some good and bad points on wh pointing griffons vs french brittneys?
thanks Or maybe even the llewelin setter ?

I've only hunted behind a couple. Both were good dogs that ranged fairly close and handled phez and quail fine. Both retrieved naturally and backed naturally...but neither where what I would call versatile. I know that's not much info but it's all i have.Anyone care to reply on LLewellin Setters.

From my limited experience the two differences I've seen are size and speed. I don't have enough knowledge to comment on range, but the FB I've seen have worked the ground faster than the WPG I've trained with. The WPG is larger than any of the FB's I've seen.vanessacr wrote:Can someone tell me why they would choose a FB over a WPG? Is there anything that sticks out more about the FBs vs. the WPG? A tilt the scale factor?
I hear positive things about both breeds. Most info. has been about the FB. I'm wondering why it is a dog of preference among most hunters.
