I can fill all your requests but one. Springer. They do have long hair BUT only if you don't clip them. Mine hunts blue quail (scaled) and if you know any thing about blues you know that is saying something! Will hunt phesants till they give up! Will fetch ducks and geese and sand hill cranes (takes awhile for her to get it to you). VERY protective when I go to work. (wife says its like she is on "alert" for any sound) and goes bannanas when I get home. It will take some doing to get over her when the time comes but the next one will be a springer, no doubt!
