Breeds of sporting dogs include the Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Cocker Spaniel, Curly-Coated Retriever, English Setter, English Springer Spaniel, the German Pointers, Golden Retriever, Irish Setter, Labrador Retriever, Pointer, Spanish Water Dog and the Weimaraner to name just a few.
Sporting dogs are naturally active and alert. They have a keen sense of sight and smell, and in some breeds hearing. The vast majority of the sporting dogs are what are commonly known as bird dogs, or gun dogs. They include the Retriever, Spaniel, Setter and Pointer breeds.
