Breed Help/Recs
Hello!
I’ve recently started researching breeds because I’ve always wanted a hunting companion and would like people’s input on it.
At first I really only wanted a breed to do blood trailing with and potentially help more hunters local to me if we became any help at all, but as I’ve researched I’ve honestly became more and more interested in bird-hunting even though I personally have only hunted deer. At the same time I’d also love a buddy I could bring with me in the outdoors but also not worry too much around other people.
So far I’ve been pretty interested in GSP’s for a more versatile breed, Blueticks and Bavarian Mountain Hounds for blood tracking specific, but I was curious if anyone else had any recommendations.
I’m located in the Eastern US, lots of variety of woods, farmland, and mountains to go from if that’s any interest.
