Any suggestions for a breed which might be better suited?

This or a Golden Retriever sounds good, an odd choice might be a Standard Poodle, they are hunting dogs.

He fought in Korea all those many decades ago, likes to hunt and has a lot of outdoorsy hobbies.

What kind of dog should he own?

For some reason this guy sounds like he owns a Newfoundland.
