The dogs generally used for hunting are generally medium-sized; weighing between twenty-five to forty pounds, with a maximum height of eighteen inches at the shoulder. Hunting dogs are used for searching, tracking, herding, protecting flocks or herds, and for hunting small animals such as rabbits, reindeer, squirrels, or even fish. They can be used in packs, or single, often working from dawn to dusk. Although they have strong, compact bones and powerful organs, dogs of this kind are delicate by nature.
Their senses help them to locate their prey, including scents, tastes, sounds, and even smells of prey. These strong sense organs make dogs excellent hunters, able to track, seize, catch, and kill prey even after it is dead. Dogs will attack and kill animals when they are wounded, rather than merely pursuing a prey that is unconscious. Their strong, athletic bodies allow them to move quickly on foot, which is essential for catching fast-moving prey.
Although the hunting dogs of centuries ago were used to catch birds and other small animals, today's hunting dogs have much more sophisticated abilities. Hunting dogs have been bred for years for their ability to locate and seize prey, to find its hiding places, and to pounce upon the animal once it is aware that it is being pursued. This allows the dog to take the kill immediately. Today's dogs have also been bred for their strength, agility, endurance, and intelligence.
There are many breeds of dogs used in this sport, but the American bulldog is considered to be one of the world's most commonly used. Their muscular structure enables them to capture any prey easily. Their long, double layered coats make it easy to wear and give them the power needed to wrestle and restrain prey. The American bulldog was brought to America from England in the early 19th century as a means of bringing beef and other livestock to market. Because of their powerful jaws and powerful bites, they were originally used to hunt bears and rabbits. But today they are valued for many of their hunting qualities.
Other types of dogs used in this sport include the German shepherds and the collie dogs. German shepherds were originally used to protect sheep in their country; they are strong and well-balanced. A Collie dog is very trainable and can be used to pull a sled, retrieve birds, or any other small game. Both of these dogs have a high hunting drive, but in different ways.
Sporting dogs are used to track, retrieve, and find scent. Sporting dogs can track, retrieve, and find scent in anything. Some dogs track animals, while others are used to find scent on the ground. Sporting dogs are also intelligent and can learn new things. Tracking, agility, and herding are some of the sports the Sporting group includes.
These dogs can be used in almost any sport, because they are so versatile. One of the main things owners need to do is get their dog organized. They will need a collar, leash, identification tags, and plenty of training equipment. It's important that the dog is used to everyone, from other dogs and people, to other people and other dogs. Having the right mindset will allow the dog to bond with the people around it, and form bonds that last.
