Sporting Breeds

The Weimaraner moves as fast as a flash of lightning.  Always on the move, the Weimaraner requires a lot of energy and a large property to exercise.

The Vizsla is a sweet, docile dog that makes a fantastic family pet.  Those families better live in a rural area so that the animal can receive its full amount of exercise.

The English Springer Spaniel is a very active hunting dog.  Loyal to its family, the Springer Spaniel makes a fine devoted family pet.

Cocker Spaniels are used as bird hunting dogs but in the U.S. they are usually found as family pets.  They are adaptable to many different home environments.

The Clumber Spaniel does not look like a sporting dog but it is!  With that stocky body and short legs, it has been used as a hunting dog for years.

The Irish Setter is a beautiful dog to watch with that gorgeous auburn colored hair-coat.  It is gentle and makes an excellent family pet but needs lots of exercise to be happy.

The Gordon Setter is an excellent bird dog and is rarely gun shy.  They make gentle family pets but require a lot of space to run.

English Setters are not as common today but they do make excellent bird dogs.  They are also gentle with children but do need a lot of exercise.

An American favorite, the Labrador Retriever is a fabulous family dog and great with children.  The only thing that stops a Labrador Retriever from swimming is a frozen pond!

What more can you say about a Golden Retriever?  Loved by all people, the Golden Retriever is the magnificent of magnificent breeds of dogs.  Always a favorite of veterinarians!
