My next one is going to be a Spinoni. We have a local breeder that has some great ones. I've hunted behind some fantastic dogs over the years and these Spinoni's are as good as they come. I'd never even heard of them until a couple of years ago. Stumbled into them at a pheasants forever event. I understand they are low/no shed and fine for people with allergies. Great in water, corn fields or upland. Not a common or cheap dog - but worth the investment from what I have seen.

p.s. I like your screen name as I am a Lloyd-III in real life. Not a very common name around here.

Good luck with your dog search...
