Breed Groups

Sporting Group

• The AKC says
• Naturally active and alert, Sporting dogs make
  likeable, well-rounded companions. Members of the
  Group include pointers, retrievers, setters and
  spaniels. Remarkable for their instincts in water
  and woods, many of these breeds actively continue
  to participate in hunting and other field
  activities. Potential owners of Sporting dogs
  need to realize that most require regular,
  invigorating exercise.

Hound Group

• The AKC says
• Most hounds share the common ancestral trait of
  being used for hunting. Some use acute scenting
  powers to follow a trail. Others demonstrate a
  phenomenal gift of stamina as they relentlessly
  run down quarry. Beyond this, however,
  generalizations about hounds are hard to come by,
  since the Group encompasses quite a diverse lot.
  There are Pharaoh Hounds, Norwegian Elkhounds,
  Afghans and Beagles, among others. Some hounds
  share the distinct ability to produce a unique
  sound known as baying. You'd best sample this
  sound before you decide to get a hound of your
  own to be sure it's your cup of tea.
