Like all dogs, this group was selectively bred to fulfil a specific purpose, and in their case, the group name is pretty self-explanatory. Overall there are seven groups recognised by the Kennel Club: Toy, Utility, Gundog, Working, Pastoral, Terrier, and Hound, and you can find links to these by scrolling down.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_826\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-826\" class=\"wp-image-826 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/pets\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/11\/Barbet-300x185.jpg\" alt=\"Barbet Gundog Breed\" width=\"300\" height=\"185\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/pets\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/11\/Barbet-300x185.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/pets\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/11\/Barbet-1024x630.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/pets\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/11\/Barbet-768x472.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/pets\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/11\/Barbet-600x369.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/pets\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/11\/Barbet.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-826\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image: mazarekic\/Shutterstock.com<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Gundog dogs were initially bred for hunting and were trained to find and\/or to retrieve game after it had been shot and wounded. There are four sub-groups within the group: Retrievers, Spaniels, Pointers, and Setters. However, many of the breeds within the group are capable of doing the same work as those breeds within any of the sub-groups. Today hunting is not so widespread and in general, gundogs are kept as family pets, where their good temperament and general ease of training make them great companions. Anyway, here are the Gundog breeds in alphabetical order.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3777560060821597\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block; text-align: center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3777560060821597\" data-ad-slot=\"3765988378\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<h3>Gundog Breeds<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/dogs\/gundogs\/barbet-gundog\/\">Barbet<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/dogs\/gundogs\/bracco-italiano-gundog\/\">Bracco Italiano<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/dogs\/gundogs\/braque-dauvergne-the-rare-french-gundog\/\">Braque D&#8217;Auvergne<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/dogs\/gundogs\/brittany-the-historied-french-gundog-breed\/\">Brittany<\/a><\/li>\n<li>English Setter<\/li>\n<li>German Longhaired Pointer<\/li>\n<li>German Shorthaired Pointer<\/li>\n<li>German Wirehaired Pointer<\/li>\n<li>Gordon Setter<\/li>\n<li>Hungarian Vizsla<\/li>\n<li>Hungarian Wire-Haired Vizsla<\/li>\n<li>Irish Red &amp; White Setter<\/li>\n<li>Irish Setter<\/li>\n<li>Italian Spinone<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/dogs\/gundogs\/korthals-griffon-gundog\/\">Korthals Griffon<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/dogs\/gundogs\/lagotto-romagnolo-the-original-waterproof-italian-gundog\/\">Lagotto Romagnolo<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Large Munsterlander<\/li>\n<li>Pointer<\/li>\n<li>Portuguese Pointer<\/li>\n<li>Retriever (Chesapeake Bay)<\/li>\n<li>Retriever (Curly Coated)<\/li>\n<li>Retriever (Flat-Coated)<\/li>\n<li>Retriever (Golden)<\/li>\n<li>Retriever (Labrador)<\/li>\n<li>Retriever (Nova Scotia Duck Tolling)<\/li>\n<li>Slovakian Rough Haired Pointer<\/li>\n<li>Small Munsterlander<\/li>\n<li>Spaniel (American Cocker)<\/li>\n<li>Spaniel (American Water)<\/li>\n<li>Spaniel (Clumber)<\/li>\n<li>Spaniel (Cocker)<\/li>\n<li>Spaniel (English Springer)<\/li>\n<li>Spaniel (Field)<\/li>\n<li>Spaniel (Irish Water)<\/li>\n<li>Spaniel (Sussex)<\/li>\n<li>Spaniel (Welsh Springer)<\/li>\n<li>Spanish Water Dog<\/li>\n<li>Weimaraner<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thekennelclub.org.uk\/\">UK Kennel Club<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Other Kennel Club UK Dog Breeds By Group<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/pets\/kennel-club-dog-breeds-toy-group\/dogs\">Toy<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/pets\/kennel-club-dog-breeds-utility-group\/dogs\"><strong>Utility<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/pets\/kennel-club-uk-dog-breeds-pastoral-group\/dogs\">Pastoral<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/pets\/kennel-club-dog-breeds-working-group\/dogs\"><strong>Working<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/pets\/kennel-club-dog-breeds-terrier-group\/dogs\"><strong>Terrier\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/pets\/kennel-club-dog-breeds-hound-group\/dogs\"><strong>Hound<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Kennel Club UK Dog Breeds\u00a0 A-Z Lists<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/pets\/kennel-club-uk-dog-breeds-a\/dogs\"><strong>Dog Breeds \u2018A\u2019<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thekennelclub.org.uk\/\">UK Kennel Club<\/a><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3777560060821597\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-format=\"autorelaxed\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3777560060821597\" data-ad-slot=\"8918336802\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kennel Club (UK) Dog Breeds: Gundog Group The Gundog breed is one of the general dog groups recognised by the Kennel Club UK (as of 2021), and of the 221 breeds of dogs accepted by them, 38 fall into this category.
