Haven't kept any bird dogs in quite a few years .
But when I did they were all English setters except for one hard headed English pointer . Needless to say I'm quite biased for the English setter as a bird dog be it grouse or quail . Wish I had gotten an Old Hemlock Setter but was never able to .
I'm also partial to Boykin Spaniels , my aunts father in law used to raise them in the Sumter area of SC . All his dogs I saw work seemed great in the dove field , duck marsh and turkey woods .
