Sporting Group
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sporting Group (also called the Gundog group) is a designation designation used by some all-breed dog registries (or kennel clubs) for a group of purebred dogs. Because they were developed as bird dogs with energetic hunting abilities in water and field settings, most sporting dogs require regular exercise. Their naturally active and alert demeanor also makes them likeable and well-rounded companions.
This group includes pointers, retrievers, setters, and spaniels. Differences between clubs are noted in parentheses.
