Needing some advise...

Just like everyone else said hunt with different people with different styles and see what you like. I'm still trying to figure that one out myself but I've been lucky enough to meet some real stand up people on here who have helped me and taught me a ton about this sport and dogs in general. Heck even a little life lesson here and there. I will say though that I have noticed it's not the breed of dog that you look for. It's a specific line of dogs that works the way you want or even a type of dog that is geared a certain way. My best dog is a mutt and was free because someone was nice enough to help me get started and she is a good dog that will get the job done.
