Sporting group

Pointers, Spaniels, Retrievers, and Setters fall in to this group. Dogs in this group are excellent hunters. Each breeds has a different hunting style, for example a Retriever would fetch the fowl or duck and with it’s soft jaws retrieve it. Although they are amazing hunters, they are very good family pets. They are obedient, highly affectionate and playful dogs. However, they must be given frequent exercise, or these dogs can get nervous and frusturated.
