Sporting Dogs

Two of the top 5 most common breeds registered through the AKC is Golden Retrievers & Labrador Retrievers. It says it in their name, “Retriever.” These breeds were bred to help their human partners fetch small game while hunting.

Golden Retrievers, specifically, seem to fall short of their instinctual nature. Most of their owners don’t need help retrieving small game from them, but more-so enjoy the loving, loyal nature that they provide the family.

German Short Haired Pointers, on the other hand, are an excellent balance between an alert hunting companion, affectionate hiking partner and family member.

Labrador Retrievers are truly a man’s best friend. Family dogs to their core, excellent retrieving ability and always looking for their next dose of fun.
