my  opinion  i crossed  to  a  birddog  as a   project to  play  with .......i  think they will  do  well .... and  may  add  more  speed  than  what  i  have  .....but  far  as  hunting  or  nose ....NO ......i look  at a  birddog  as a  working  dog ....... what  i  have  now will  out  hunt a  birddog ,,,,,,running  wildly all  over  is  not  what  i call hunting  its  more  working ........ takeing a  track   several  hours  old  and  tracking  the  animal  up is  hunting ...... or a  dog that  will  loop  in a  quarter  mile or  so  looking  for  sign then trailing  it  up  is  hunting .....it  is  gonna  take  hound  type  traits  for  this ....  i picked the  german  shorthair  because  they seem  to  trail  more  on the ground  than  wind ..... if  this  works  out i am  looking  for  more  speed and a  dog  that  is  just  as  eager to  come  out the  box  at the  end  of a  long  day....also  i wanted  something  that was  extremely  line  bred ....( NO THROW BACKS ) ....   i  have  all the hunt  i  would  want  already ........
