Asking for a recommendation for a bird dog is like asking simply TFL for a recommendation on a handgun. Seriously you'll get a lot of different suggestions on breeds.

Pretty much the just of it. There are many breeds that point and retrieve. There are many dogs that would make a great companion for your family and your other dogs. I suggest you go to one of the many dog websites and research. Going to breed specific websites will tell you just what owners here will tell you....that theirs is the best. Go to a neutral site like AKC that will give you an unbiased description without all the bling.
Any dog that is a hunter at heart will be demanding. Even Boykins because of their stamina need plenty of attention and work. A walk 4 or 5 times a week will not do it. Especially at a young age. If they get bored, they get mischievous and nervous. That generally turns into chewing or some other form of destruction. This is true regardless of breed or sex.
