Don't know if you're just being facetious, but they are actually one of thee most trainable dogs on the planet! That's why they are so often used in those circus acts. But I don't want a coat that would require habitual cutting. So that's out.

Was discussing this with the fam this PM, and Mama mentioned that if we got him as puppy as I intend, then he'd grow up with lil Mancha as part of his pack, so it *should* make that potential prey-drive issue not be a thing. Might even make him be protective of her.. which would really be a good thing for us, since I worry about the occasional Coopers Hawks that land on our power pole outback and RedTails that sometimes do high-up recon missions overhead as well as mating rituals high overhead around here and there are Yote sightings at times in the neighborhood, since this neighborhood tract is next to that Navel Golf Course and the Los Alamitos training base. There are a few den sites on that base. Plus they have this whole series of pathways they take to get them all the way out to that part of the beach that's reserved for the Naval Weapons Ammo Depot bunkers and crops land and all that stuff. And I know there are Skunks and occasionally Racoons around here. And squirrels, which is why the Coopers Hawks have been coming around. One of those bastards THOUGHT he could land on the ground right by my spa with his mate. Just outside out the sliding glass backdoor from the living room, where Mancha sleeps and hangs out at. I saw that and was like "Aww Hell Nah.." and went SSS on his butt. I can't have one of them getting habituated to our backyard being a safe location, otherwise Mancha would totally be in danger. The Coopers probably couldn't carry her away, but those talons were gnarly and they could Totally elect to just kill her and feed as much as they could on the ground instead. She's too small, and defenseless since she doesn't have hardly any teeth left. So Daddy did what Daddy's do, and kept her safe.
They won't do well in cold weather
I've got full sized labs that go through something like that. LOL. My parents have a door about that size for their Mini Schnauzers. My labs follow them in and out of it.
I presume books by this "Larry Mueller" fellow focus on the steps required to train them for hunting activities, yes?
I have an English Cocker Spaniel as well. Much smaller than my Golden Retriever, at a little over 30 pounds. Also, smarter than my Golden.
A jagd would fit the bill. Incredible intelligence and highly trainable.Pretty sure @Darin Cooper has a Jagd Terrier, and also had another he hunted with previously. And I seem to remember pretty well trained?
