I have a jack russell that's very calm, has a great nose, a lot of drive and is very good with my kids. He has found 5 deer this year 2 of witch wouldn't have been found without him. When I go fishing he rides on the bow like a hood ornament. A lab or a gsp are great dogs for both needs but be careful,a lot of hunting dogs don't make great family pets from my experience.

More considerations need to be made. How much land does the dog have to roam? Do you plan to exercise them daily or does the dog need to exercise themselves? Big breeds with lots of energy like the two you referenced need lots of exercise, without it, they'll exercise themselves doing things you may not like. Smaller breeds don't require as much. Buy a dog book and read it. You may find a breed that you hadn't considered. Retrievers and spaniels are natural hunters as are several other breeds. For companionship, a livestock dog is hard to beat. They are great at keeping a watch over kids.

Unless youre just dead set on a tracking dog get a mountain feist. Im sure they could be trained to blood trail though
We will burn that bridge when we get there

I own both! I have an 11 year old lab (she may not be around much longer) and she is by far and way the best dog I have ever owned. She loves my 2 young kids, she has chased down every dove I have ever shot and she has tracked a few deer for me. She use to chase tennis balls until I couldn't throw them anymore. My 12 week GSP has been awesome up to this point, everything that I've taught her, command wise, she has learned almost immediately. I am working on training her to track deer and so far so good. She also adores my kids and follows their every step. GSPs are more hunters than labs but labs are way more retriever than the GSP. Both are awesome dogs, the GSP IMO has more energy and needs more room to roam than the lab, both should train fairly easy and be wonderful family pets. I went with the GSP this go around because I don't think I'll ever be able to own another lab and not compare it to my Sadie.
