Hi, I'm quite new to shooting and am looking to get my first gundog, 
  
I've got a Cockapoo, who might have a bit of springer in there too, who I'm considering training to be a gundog, she'd be a good beater but I'm not sure how she'd do picking up, I've got no idea on her family history but she has got a very natural hunting instinct. 
  
If I couldn't train her, what breed would you recommend for a first time gundog handler?
