    there are always going to be great crossbred hunting dogs,conversely there will be some poor ones too. but if you look at the big picture and see how we have improved livestock breeds,the same principle applies to hunting dogs. if you want a gundog, look for proper working lines, not show bred.there are not too many about,but if you ask questions you will get pointed in the right direction, then use your nouse. the longer i have been around dogs,the more importance i place on genetics as to being the basis for temperment,character and behaviour.you can only develop the potential you have at the start, you cannot make honey from dogshit as the saying goes.
