Gundog Group - (as recognised by the UK Kennel Club)

Gundogs were originally bred and trained for the purpose of finding and retrieving game whilst hunting. The main group of gundogs is split into four sub-categories of dog breeds which include The Spaniels, Retrievers, Hunt and Point with finally Retrieve and Setters. Breeds of dog that fall into the gundog section are generally good natured dogs with a great deal of energy that require  large amounts of exercise and stimulation through close interaction with their human companions. Gundogs have high levels of intelligence that make them respond well to training and great family pets.
