Sporting Dogs
Sporting dogs (pointers, setters, spaniels) were bred to retrieve, swim and work all day with a hunter or farmer so they prefer to have company most of the time. They also have enough energy to go jogging and camping. If not kept active they can become overweight. They like to carry things in their mouths. They come in all sizes with long, hanging ears. Many have their tails surgically shortened, called "docked" tails. They come in all coats including straight and short, wiry or long and silky.
