A pointer ? for beating ? Just what you don't want really in a thick woodland , walking guns on the moor with the pointers out ranging in front fair enough but Beating ? Get a Lab if you want a big one a cocker if its a small one or a springer if its a middle sized one . There is a lot of history to why these breeds dominate in that task !

I wanted one for years but they're as rare as they come. Lucked out eventually through complete chance that a friend of a friend had a litter the same week I'd "given up" trying to find one.
He has bundles of character and incredibly intelligent. In other words, he can be a PITA and amazing all at once. Much like a collie dog IMO.
Only a pup at the moment but seems to have just settled and respecting commands, not just listening to them!

Andy Platt from Nithvalley Kennels imported working Laggotos to fill the gap you mention. He is into FT with his spaniels and has trained other dogs
My 17 month old gives my daughter 9, 6 and 5 a run for their money when it comes to sulking after being told off.
Last cocker came to me as a part trained one year old and my wife misses him sorely, he was inherited following a death not sought as part trained.
She misses him so much so she openly states she hates the lab and professes we should never have had another dog. What she forgets is we missed all the hard work of a pup and the fact the cocker scratched through the new sofa on the first night it was delivered
A local lad has a cocker cross lab and it looks like a lab just a bit bigger than a lab. Not sure how it works and which traits it has. Probably the worst ones from both….

Being 11 weeks and 5 days is harder than it looks

Nothing comes close to seeing a dog at full gallop hit scent and lock up..

For purely picking up a good strong Labrador dog or bitch.
For beating and picking up got to be cockers. Too much picking up they sometimes hide things. Had quite a few cockers and some fantastic labs over fifty years.
For deer borders or if you are slightly nuts yourself a teckel.

Golden retriever from decent strain
labs are good and make great family pets if you want a change
Whereas an ESS or a Cocker would be over the moon about that
