I would take my trusty Weimaranar. Smart, capable, a great companion and all around good hunting dog. He has no issues going after a wild pig. They were breed to hunt large game in Germany. Originally a German nobles dog.
We are working for his AKC Good Citizen Award. Obedience thing.
My Spook brings me rabbits and birds he caught all the time. He can track, and retrieve.
My only concern would be cold, but he does great with a dog coat. And he has a pack to carry his own gear. 85lbs of awesome my Spook is.
If I could not take Spook, I would go for a Blue Lacy. Smaller, warmer coat, and smart as hell.
