    The Vizlas seem to have a pretty good rep. Dave won't have any for a little while though.
    What are your thoughts regarding breed?

    Look at what the pros use, there is a bit of a pattern. Generally HPRs or eye dogs. That said, I rate Labs, and certain HPR breeds. Or more correctly, certain strains of certain HPR breeds.
    What ever you do, you can't make silk purse out of sows ear. Talk to people, read up on the subject, and save your pingers for the best bred pup for the job. Costs as much to feed a dud as it does a star gamefinder.

    I'm a fan of vislas as my profile pic may suggest lol. Silent stalker in the bush. Just need to keep them run enough to keep them.happy. I use mine on everything. Some people say you shouldn't but they catch on to what your looking for pretty quickly and if trained right will just work off you in terms of the hitting style for the day I.e if I walk slow and quiet he does too etc

    Good luck Eltoro, I'll be in the same boat as you in a year or so when I'm better at hunting deer on my own keep us posted!

    PS would any of the dog dudes ever want to have a dog get together similar to the forum hunt? Has it been done before or do you think it'll work? I'd love to see EeeBees lovely Britts doing their thing as long as I got to have a cuddle afterwards, also I've never seen a deer dog work so would be fun to watch them do their thing

    I'm not sure as I have never seen a hunting dog work! Could find a good place for birds as I think most of the dogs on here are more inclined to that? And I think it'd be a dealbreaker for sweet wee Falco when he finds out that dogs don't sleep inside at my place or ever see more than their mat in the lounge

    A good dog is breed not made. Start with a hunting pedigree and you are half way there. I like GWP personally and am now on my third one. The breeder did this particular line purely for deer. Jazz the one I have now was retreiving ducks at 3mths and got on to her first deer at 6mths. last year in 4 mths she helped me tip over and recover 16 deer. Ali/Lab my experince in them is that they are aggressive and also mutton munchers, mind you all 3 of my Wires have had agressive natures. I agree with Pointer, it cost just the same to feed a mutt as a good dog . Be wary you will have this dog for a long time so chose wisely. My 2cents worth
