John, I wish you could be with me when one of my Gordons (true of all 10 that have owned us for over 30 years) stops and looks back at me for direction while we are hunting. I've had them come in to check on us when we were unable to cross a creek quickly, or if one of us stumbles or falls. If that's not a team player, I don't know what is.
However you characterize breeds, the one thing that is so wonderful about a hunting dog is the bond that you as the hunter can create with your pup.
If humans were more like dogs, there would be a lot less trouble in this world.
