Hunting Strategies: Hunting with Dogs

Dogs

There are several breeds of dogs that can be used for hunting different game species. Some dogs can be used to hunt several types of game animals.

A trained hunting dog can be an excellent hunting partner.

• Pointers are used primarily for upland game birds.
• Retrievers are large, hearty dogs used primarily to retrieve waterfowl; they also can be trained to hunt other game birds.
• Spaniels are used mainly as flushers.
• Hunting Hounds are used to hunt deer in some states.
