Besides the same breed which breed combos do you like or have hunted with in the field? Personally I have done the Vizsla/Weim combo in the field a few times a year.

the setter ranges out further and was much faster than the other pointing dogs I ran with but they worked well together (Setter not much of a retriever and doesn't think too much of the water put proper training I believe could have made a great dog)
The lab was much younger than the other dogs when I hunted with it and was such a beast in the cattails searching for pheasants.
I love pointing dogs but can see why so many people use Labs upland hunting too. They are heavier body dogs that can crash the thick stuff. Like I said though the Lab was 2 years old and the Setter and GSP were 10 years old at the time.
I only hunted over the GWP one time it was a close working dog and good retriever.
The Griffon Was an old mans dog (my dad was getting older)seemed to work just a little too slow he could track one pheasant in a field of many and would push the bird so slow it would just run and run. Griffon loved the water was a good retriever and seemed to be a thinker in the field too.

It was all good mostly. The three GSPs and three Vizslas, in each case, were fielded together by one hunter and often hunted more as a pack. Just one would have been about as effective.

loved every minute of it. Really enjoyed my shorthair-llewellin setter combos. My first choice for all around dog is shorthairs but setters have a way of catching my eye.

The best birddog I ever had was a pointer/English setter cross. Best nose, tireless retriever, even used him as a dove retriever, he never lost one in 5 years, usually several hundred a year. He made me lazy, shooting in standing soybeans, corn, no problem, drop them when you can see them, the dog did it all. I also was exposed to his sister, a complete air head. I like all birddogs! A herd is good, I am convinced that an army of dogs are as good as blockers and drivers in pheasant hunting. Actually better, because you get the shots! I used a long legged group of puppies two years ago, in a mature CRP field, there were dogs everywhere, confused the birds, they pointed 7 times, twice where birds they ran back to a gunner. Opened up my eyes. but it's hard to keep and manage them!
