Dog Breeds
Some dog breeds have a more natural feel for the sport and are not hard to find. Web page Pheasants Forever gives an understanding of some dogs that have this feel. The most common bird dog is known as the flusher, use their senses such as eyes and nose to hunt down the upland birds. They’re also known to be great water animals. Another breed this website encourages is the Brittany Pointer, or any pointer is fine. This breed has been known to stay close to the hunter yet have great speed for getting on wild game fast and efficiently. The pointer is known to be a strong breed with their thick coat. Another great bird dog is the Retriever; this dog is an all-around good bird dog, this dog will spring up birds from groves and hedges so that the hunter can shoot and the dog will retrieve. This is an option if the hunter wants to use their dog for more than just hunting. As many pointers are very good hunters, the German wirehaired pointer is a specifically nice dog to have because this breed will hunt anything. They do all of the characteristics of the retriever and flusher as well as many more. Then there is always the Golden Retriever whose sole desire is to satisfy it’s owner and retrieve until there is nothing left to fetch. Pointers, flushers and retrievers are the three most common bird dogs to have.

Famous quotes containing the words dog and/or breeds:
“To relive the relationship between owner and slave we can consider how we treat our cars and dogs—a dog exercising a somewhat similar leverage on our mercies and an automobile being comparable in value to a slave in those days.”
—Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)
“There are two kinds of men, and only two, and that young man is one kind. He is high-minded, he is pure, he’s the kind of man that the world pretends to look up to, and in fact despises. He is
the kind of man who breeds unhappiness, particularly in women.”
—Robert Bolt (1924–1995)
