Useful Items For Sporting Dogs

Sporting dogs are part of a breed group of dogs that commonly hunt birds and small game. Historically, sporting dogs were kept by the noble and elite classes who viewed hunting as a form of entertainment.

Today, you will know sporting dogs as pointers, retrievers, setters and spaniels, with around 70 breeds considered a sporting breed - although not all are recognised by all kennel clubs.

Sporting dogs make great companions! They are energetic, require a lot of exercise and are just a great, well-rounded type of dog.

Interestingly, compared to other types of dogs who hunt by detecting scents on the ground, sporting dogs detect scents in the air.
