CANINE SECTION



Gundog Group

  • Dogs that were originally trained to find live game and/or to retrieve game that had been shot and wounded. This group is divided into four categories - Retriever, Spaniels, Hunt/Point/Retrieve and Setters.^

Hound Group

  • Traditionally used for hunting by scent or sight. They require a significant amount of exercise and can be described as dignified, aloof but trustworthy companions.^

Terrier Group

  • Dogs originally bred and used for hunting vermin. This hardy collection of dogs were selectively bred to be extremely brave and tough, and to pursue fox, badger, rat and otter (to name but a few) above and below ground.^

Working Group

  • Over the centuries these dogs were selectively bred to become guards and search and rescue dogs. Arguably, the working group consists of some of the most heroic canines in the world, aiding humans in many walks of like, including the Boxer, Great Dane and St. Bernard.^
