when you have narrowed down your choices try and go to watch some of the dogs in action ideally doing the same kind of hunting you will use them for see what floats your boat.
Ask about the negatives of the breed what people have struggled with during training, everyone wants to tell you how wonderful their breed is yet not many will give you the negatives and all breeds have them. If you want a working dog make sure you get it from a working line not a pet litter and stay away from show lines they all like to think there dogs can work. I don't know what the situation is with you in your country but try and make sure all the health test that should be done have you will invest a lot of time, money and heart ache into what ever dog you chose try to start from the best position you can.
