Special Article : The Lowdown On Hunting Dogs

There are different breeds of hunting dogs - you have the general hunting dogs; sporting or gun dogs; or scenthounds etc. But there is one thing in common with these friendly dogs - they are here to assist you, the hunter.

Hunting dogs originated from Western Europe in the 1400s to 1600s . The hunting dogs used during that time were the Pointers - for locating game. As more and more guns were used for hunting, other breeds of hunting dogs developed with time like the flushing setter and spaniel breeds.

Nowadays, especially in England, to go on a hunt may require many different types of hunting dogs - pointing and flushing hunting dogs located game in the surrounding brush; the windhounds coursed it down; terriers went underground after the game if it went into the burrows; and the scenthounds tracked it down if it ran across country.

But with time, the hunt simplified itself. The sporting dogs maintain a wide tolerance of people and little territoriality because they are mostly used by non-owners for hunting.

A high tolerance for other dogs and people is also an important consideration choosing for hunting dogs. If the owner has a hunting lodge or some form of hunting business that hires hunting dogs out, that dog has to obey commands and go hunting for a stranger as if that person is their owner.

These types of hunting dogs to not growl or show signs of aggression toward their hunted prey as this behavior would scare the prey away instead of catching it. Instead, the dog has a silent intenseness, allowing for the catch.

Other types of skills and behavior demonstrate what the types of hunting dogs do over another - the scent hounds on their leashes can pick up tracks and scents that other days may miss, one that is many days old.

On the other hand, a good pointer can point and freeze birds that assume they are well hidden from view, whole the popular retrievers can retrieve birds in freezing water all day long. This is a lot different than England's many steps of different birds for hunting.

As you can now see, the types of hunting dogs have changed a lot over the years and from one country over another. And different countries breed different hunting dogs for hunting various types of game birds in their own country.

Some avid hunters will travel overseas to hunt, while others prefer to hunt in their backyard, so knowing these differences will be crucial to them.
