I've had 2 Schnauzers ... LOVE THEM but my #1 req is an excellent nose for deer tracking. They may be able to track but the Boykin, Dachshund, and Fiest are much better options. I read somewhere the Dachshund's nose is second only to the Bloodhound.

I still say mountain feist. The reddish brown is my favorite color me too, although I had a long haired dachsund that would get the job done. The mountain Feist have the natural immunity system that make them a very good choice. You'll have a partner that will circle and check back in frequently.

My mom had a Schnauzer that found deer every year. Was pretty good at it too but id still say the others are better.

English Springer Spaniel Field Bred German Shepherd Boykin Spaniel German Wirehaired Pointer (aka Viszla or Draathar, not the dachshund) German Shorthaired Pointer (GSP) Mountain Cur Mountain Fiest German Short Haired Pointer Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Australian Cattle Dog ( aka Blue heeler ) German Wirehaired Dachshund

Yeah, its a long list but truth be told its going to boil down to the Boykin Spaniel and the English Springer Spaniel Field Bred ... I can tell her favorite is the Boykin and I'm just not sure which of the two I favor. I'd have gone for a Cur, Fiest, or GW Dachshund but she's already eliminated them

We've whittled it down to this and it's my turn to drop one : - English Springer Spaniel Field Bred
- Boykin Spaniel
Wow, that's a hard decision for me. Both are more than adequate for tracking and hunting. Both are loaded with personality. Both are great with (grand)kids. Both are highly intelligent and trainable ...

Bear in mind that Spaniels and cockleburs don't mix well in case you hunt or have outings where cockleburs are present. More than once I had to dang near shave the Cocker Spaniels we had.
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

I have had over 200 dogs. Bird dogs, revtrivers, hounds, curs. There are dumb dogs in all breeds. The smartest I have owned were a Chesapeake lab cross, mountain cur fiest cross, and a redbone. The smartest I have ever seen was a austrailin shepard. The common denominator was that they were very social, and had to have frequent interaction with there Masters

Not a field springer, but we are on our second springer spaniel. Absolutely great. If I had gotten to her before her former owners, she would be as good or better than any Brit I had when I bird hunted. Fun pet, too.
