Gundog breeds: profiles, working traits and breed guides
Not all gundogs are created equal – and choosing the right breed for your shooting, trialling or picking-up life is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. Gundog Journal’s breed pages cover all 38 Royal Kennel Club-recognised gundog breeds in depth, from the Labrador retriever and cocker spaniel to the lesser-known field spaniel and Irish red and white setter.
Whether you’re researching retrievers, spaniels, pointers, setters or HPR breeds – Hungarian vizslas, German shorthaired pointers, weimaraners and more – our gundog breed guides cover temperament, trainability, working ability and suitability for different roles in the field.
Thinking about your next dog, or simply want to understand your current one better? This is the gundog breed resource built for working dog owners who take the choice seriously.
