[edit] Training and Method of Work
Elf, you suggested that these details, originally written for Brittany_(dog), might be better in their own section. This seemed like the logical place for them. I plan to add a section on water retrievers next.The Dogfather 18:04, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Hound and Gun Dog
Is gun dog a subset of hound?

- No. Gun dogs include include any sort of dog that works for an armed hunter. Hounds are not regularly called gundogs but would, under some circumstances, fit the definition. Generally dogs that hunt birds and small game are the dogs that are primarily placed under the moniker "gun dog". They include retrievers, spaniels, and pointing breeds. None of these dogs are hounds.--Counsel 21:17, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
