Like hounds, sporting dogs are natural hunters. Setters, spaniels, pointers, and retrievers are some of the world’s most popular breeds. Unlike hounds, sporting breeds are generally very sociable and highly responsive to human direction. They also have a tremendous amount of energy and stamina. Their exercise requirements are significant as is their need for social interaction. They are tireless and have a strong natural resistance to harsh environmental conditions. This means that an Irish setter will still probably insist on a two-hour run in the park in the pouring rain.
