Thread: Pup for family pet and deer stalking

Im in the same boat , really need/want a mate for in the bush aswel as a family pet but im really unsure as to what breed to go with.
not really keen on a pure lab as have been around them a few times in the scrub and on a hot day they tend to be quite noisey so was thinking more a working dog type breed that tends to be light on its feet with a few brains , what say you fellas?
