Sporting Breeds represent canine stardom with the highly popular pointers, setters, retrievers and spaniels.

Naturally gentle, highly trainable and always eager to participate in any game their family can rustle up, they make excellent family dogs appreciated for their intelligence and alertness.

Sporting Breeds include the

• Chesapeake Bay Retriever
• Cocker Spaniel
• English Cocker Spaniel
• English Setter
• English Springer Spaniel
• Flat-Coated Retriever
• Golden Retriever
• Irish Setter
• Labrador Retriever
• Pointer
• Weimaraner

But I'm afraid that there are a lot more things to consider before you come to a final decision as to which type of dog is right for you. For example, the amount of grooming involved, the level of involvement from the rest of the family, what will happen to your new friend when you decide to travel, and so much more.

That's where I can fill in the gap, by going with you through all the aspects of this new responsibility that getting a new dog will add to your life.
