Gundogs, also called bird dogs, are a category of dog breeds developed to assist hunters to find and retrieve game, usually birds. Gundogs are divided into three primary classes: Retrievers, flushing spaniels, and pointing breeds. There are several types of gundogs, each type consisting of multiple breeds; see each type for a detailed description and a list of breeds: Pointers Retrievers Setters Spaniels Several breeds have been used in different ways, so the line among different types is not always clear and different people might think of one breed as different types. http://www.feetandfins.com/dogs/gundogs/http://www.esyndicat.com/
