3 HUNTING DOGS YOU’D WANT BY YOUR SIDE DID YOUR BREED MAKE THE LIST?

Setter Like most hunting dogs, you never know what you’re going to get with a setter. You might have a resilient tracker who will go through hell and back with you; on the other hand, you might get a total couch potato. It all depends on the breeding and the dog’s personality, but when you find a good setter, they’ll spoil you more than any other dog.

The only thing better than heading out to hunt is the company you keep while doing it. Most people love to go in groups for safety purposes and to forge relationships. But as you grow older, relationships change, family dynamics adjust, and your priorities shift, but amid all of life’s transformations, there’s always one hunting companion you can count on: your dog. Here are three of the best hunting dogs out there. German Wirehaired Pointer Tough, protective, and versatile, these dogs are undeniably great for bird hunting. One unique aspect of this breed is that they track scent with their heads up rather than looking toward the ground. Some breeds may require training to be around children, but as a retriever, they are relentless. Brittany The Brittany is a beautiful breed that will stay close to you and not chase potential targets. But when you’re at home, they’ll stay even closer. This breed is smart, caring, and also more compact than most hunting dogs.

If you’re anything like us, you’re ready to argue why your dog deserves to be on this list. Heck, turn to the front page, and you’ll see a gorgeous chocolate lab, and they’re also great hunting companions. These three breeds, however, deserve their recognition. If you want to let us know why your dog is the best to take on hunting trips, give us a call.
