Versatile hunting dog?

[Gobbler36]

I’ve always had labs, and my last one would hunt damn near everything. I love upland, but want a dog that can hunt waterfowl too. I have never had a pointer, but all the guys i pheasant hunt with use them. My big issue is they don’t care about downed birds. What breeds should I look at that can do it all, but especially will find a down bird in thick cover?

My GSP hunts chukar non stop and has been retrieving ducks all week

They will hunt and find downed birds. You just have to train them to do it.
