Gun dog

Gun dogs, or bird dogs, are types of hunting dogs developed to assist hunters in finding and retrieving game.[1] The term hunting dog is broad and includes all breeds and skills of hunting canines, but "gun dogs" refers to canines that are trained to work alongside a loud firearm while hunting or retrieving game.[2] Gun dogs are divided into three main categories: pointers and retrievers, setters and spaniels, and water dogs.[3]^{[failed verification]}
