The above information sounds great. I agee - if this is your first dog I would suggest choosing some other breed first. You could always get a second dog later. My Uncle breeds Brittany Spaniels for hunting. They are excellent trackers/pointers.
One point that I didn't see mentioned was, Check to make sure that the breeder doesn't interbreed his dogs too much. My uncle made the mistake of breeding one of his females with her father and a couple of her puppies had some problems. One of the pups humped everything in site including chairs, Ended up getting fixed and yet wouldn't quit making it impossible to work with him or even train him. If they interbreed much it just causes a few problems occaisionally.
Good luck in your hunt.
