Gundogs assist hunters in finding and retrieving game. They have been selectively bred over centuries to produce bloodlines capable of controlled and methodical field work, with a perfect balance of trainability and temperament. Gundogs must have the instinct, drive and energy to perform certain tasks in the field.

All gundogs must be soft at mouth, that is, any game they retrieve is returned to the hunter with minimal damage and is fit for the table.

Different breeds excel at different tasks, which is why your preferred hunting method will determine which type of gundog you should choose.
