Gun dog
Gun dogs' or 'gundogs', also called 'bird dogs', are types of dogs used to assist hunters in finding and retrieving game, usually birds. Flushing dogs flush game from hiding. Pointer dogs point their muzzle towards game to allow the hunter to locate the animal. Retrievers retrieve game once it is killed. Some kennel clubs define a Gundog Group for gundogs, while other kennel clubs include them in the Sporting Group.
