RETRIEVING DOGS

Although most gundogs have been bred to retrieve, some became specialists (such as Flushing Dogs, Setting Dogs and Pointing Dogs) while others were bred specifically to retrieve game that had been killed, particularly from the water. These dogs needed strong instincts to bring home prey without being tempted to mouth or eat it - consequently these breeds have a strong desire to carry things in their mouths.
