Gun Dog Group Dog Breeds: Skilled Retrievers, Flushers, and Waterfowl Specialists
The UKC Gun Dog Group features dog breeds developed to assist hunters in locating, flushing, and retrieving game—especially birds and waterfowl. These dogs are known for their keen senses, trainability, and strong work ethic in the field. Whether it’s a Labrador Retriever diving into icy water or a Spaniel flushing birds from dense cover, Gun Dogs combine athleticism with a cooperative spirit. Most breeds in this group are eager to please, highly responsive to commands, and thrive on outdoor activity. Popular Gun Dog breeds include the Golden Retriever, English Springer Spaniel, and German Shorthaired Pointer. Their versatility and friendly nature also make them excellent family companions.
