  13. Breed “Groups”

  14. Sporting Group • The AKC says: “Naturally active and alert, Sporting dogs make likeable, well-rounded companions. Members of the Group include pointers, retrievers, setters and spaniels. Remarkable for their instincts in water and woods, many of these breeds actively continue to participate in hunting and other field activities. Potential owners of Sporting dogs need to realize that most require regular, invigorating exercise.”

  15. What Breeds? • American Water Spaniel • Brittany • Chesapeake Bay Retriever • Clumber Spaniel • American Water Spaniel • Brittany • Cocker Spaniel • Curly-Coated Retriever • English Cocker Spaniel • English Setter • English Springer Spaniel • Field Spaniel • Flat-Coated Retriever • German Shorthaired Pointer • German Wirehaired Pointer • Golden Retriever • Gordon Setter • Irish Setter • Irish Water Spaniel • Labrador Retriever • Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever • Spinone Italiano • Sussex Spaniel • Vizsla • Weimaraner • Welsh Springer Spaniel • Wirehaired Pointing Griffon

  16. …what they have in common • Every breed in the Sporting group has been specifically bred for field work. • Bred to work in a partnership, one-on-one, with a human. • Similar physical characteristics: • Drop ears • Low set tail • Domed skull

  17. Hound Group • The AKC says: “Most hounds share the common ancestral trait of being used for hunting. Some use acute scenting powers to follow a trail. Others demonstrate a phenomenal gift of stamina as they relentlessly run down quarry. Beyond this, however, generalizations about hounds are hard to come by, since the Group encompasses quite a diverse lot. There are Pharaoh Hounds, Norwegian Elkhounds, Afghans and Beagles, among others. Some hounds share the distinct ability to produce a unique sound known as baying. You'd best sample this sound before you decide to get a hound of your own to be sure it's your cup of tea.”
