When choosing a dog, people base their choice on many different factors. As there are so many breeds of dogs to choose from, hunters for example base their choice on the type of hunting they want to do with the dog. However, no matter what hunting breed you choose there is one thing that is essential. It’s called bird dog training and apart from being very enjoyable it is crucial for a hunting dog.

The hunting breed dog have a kind of inborn need to please their owner. It’s like a second nature. Usually hunting breeds are quick learners and are very eager to go hunting – naturally they’ve been bred to do that. But those dogs do need their trainer to be very consistent in the way he trains them.

The training for water dogs emphasizes a lot more on the dog’s ability to stay and mark the spot where the fowl lands, however the main goal of the training is still to learn how to communicate, because only the faultless communication between the hunter and his dog can deliver maximum pleasure from a hunting experience.

While other hunting breed dog like pointers, setters and spaniels are adept at finding game and either notifying the hunter of its location by a pointing stance (pointers and setters) or flushing the game (spaniels), the retriever’s only job is to return downed game to the hunter. For anyone familiar with hunting in the field or on water, retrieving game is no small task.

These breed dogs like children and are sociable with strangers, making them a good neighborhood dog as well. Once trained, these dogs are obedient and emotionally stable. Since each breed of hunting breed dog has unique skills and attributes, we shall look at each general type of hunting dog separately. It is important to remember that hunting dogs are not aggressive by nature and are actually some of the best natured and calm mannered of all the breeds of dogs.

However, remember that you needn’t be a hunter to own one of these dogs – hunting breed dogs can make excellent, good-natured companions. If that is the case, simply make sure that the breed you choose fits in with your present – and projected lifestyle.
