Gun Dogs

     For thousands of years, sight and scent hounds accompanied hunters in search of food or in pursuit of sport. Natural genetic variations of coat texture, length of bone, scenting ability, and levels of obedience had always occurred, but with the introduction of firearms to hunting, breeders took a far greater interest in these and other traits. Dog breeding subsequently took a dramatic leap forward, producing highly responsive and amenable workers. Today, these trustworthy breeds are some of the world's most popular canine companions.
