Pointer

Pointers are more adept at using their amazing nose to find birds & game. Once found, this breed will freeze, usually pointing the direction of game.

Retriever

While most Retrieving breeds can be used to locate game, they excel at returning downed birds or wounded game to the hunter undamaged.

Flusher

Flushing breeds are primarily close working dogs used to spring birds & game from cover.

Versatile

In the past, hunters would carry several different breeds to the field with each serving a different role. There became a need for a dog capable of serving multiply roles in the field. The Versatile dogs are bred to find and point game, as well as track and retrieve on both land and water.

Hounds

Scent hounds specialize in following a smell or scent. Most of these breeds have long, drooping ears. Most of these breeds have deep, booming voices and use them actively when running, and especially when following a scent trail.
