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?

Get a proper working lab then, most of them are fat noisy bastards so removed from being hunting dogs its not funny. The proper working ones are exceptional. and rarly noisy and almost always quieter than their handlers.
