Gundogs are a type of dog specifically trained to assist hunters in locating and retrieving game. They are often categorized into three main groups: retrievers, spaniels, and pointing breeds. Each group has unique skills suited for different hunting tasks, such as flushing out birds or retrieving them after they have been shot. These dogs are known for their intelligence, strong sense of smell, and friendly temperament. They require regular exercise and mental stimulation to thrive. Many gundogs also excel in various dog sports and make excellent family pets due to their loyal and sociable nature.
