How To Select a Hunting Dog Breed
Depending on what sort of hunting you wish to do, there are a number of popular hunting dog breeds to consider. Hunting dog breeding is a living for many people so you will be able to select the best dog for your needs. Breeders carefully select the best of each generation to carry on the breed’s best traits including the ability to perform dog obedience training. Please take care to select a reputable breeder for your dog. If you enjoy hunting hare, pheasant or quail, a Beagle may make an excellent partner. Or perhaps you hunt woodcock, partridge or hare? Try an active Brittany Spaniel. The sturdy and crafty Jack Russell Terrier is outstanding hunting small game - such as fox. Golden Retrievers and Labrador Retrievers seem to have a six sense to find and return shot game to the hunter. Poodles, even with a somewhat “fancy” reputation in the show ring, are actually excellent water dogs.
