I want to get a hunting dog but I do not know witch one to chose so many. pleas help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!What is the most favourite hunting dog?
I see the AR anti hunting crowd is here with the thumbs down, but since I am a charter member of ';People Eat Tasty Animals'; ;-), I like a nice Pointer (often called an English Pointer) for upland birds. Can't hardly beat a good Lab for water fowl hunting, and of course a pack of beagles if you like chasing the bunnies all over creation.What is the most favourite hunting dog?
For what kind of hunting?. If U'r hunt a bird then this article might help you :
Which is the best dog breed for your hunting? It’s a difficult question, with a variety of possible answers. Every hunting dog breed has an advantage over others in specific applications.
English setters make excellent grouse dogs in heavy cover, but they can be high-strung. Wirehair Griffins plod along as effective all-around hunting dogs. Pointers are bred to cover lots of ground in wide-open country, but need solid training. Griffins are great ground-scent trackers, while English pointers are oriented toward being air-scent dogs.
For all-around versatility, including family qualities, consider Labs and golden retrievers. A classic upland bird dog is the German shorthair, and Brittanies are also versatile field dogs.

So what are the dogs that can greatly help you in some hunting purposes? Here is a list of dog breeds that you could invest on.
• Hounds. There are many breeds of hounds. They are named as such because they possess the most powerful sense of smell among all the breeds of dogs there are. Investing on hounds is a “can’t miss” option for hunters, whether they are planning on preying on some birds, deer, wild boars and the likes. Hounds are easy to train for hunting purposes, since these dogs are meant for the outdoors. It is their environment. Whenever they are in grasslands or in the forests, hounds are in their natural element.
• Labradors. The All American, All Purpose dog is also a great choice, not just for hunting purposes, but for a variety of tasks as well. Labradors are one of the most intelligent breeds of canine companions in the world. Even pups would be very easy to train. Though they may not have the keen sense of smell that hounds possess, they more than make up for it with their obedience and their general aptitude. They work well with minimal supervision, and they are tireless companions that will always be eager to please their masters.
• American bulldogs. Bulldogs have a sense of smell that could rival hounds, though they could be a little slower. Nonetheless, many hunters profess that American bulldogs are the best catch dogs in the world of hunting. They are taken in for specific purposes and to satisfy specific aspects of hunting. As such, they are recommended for seasoned hunters who know what they want. A novice hunter should stick with the breeds that show more versatility.
• Argentine dogos. These are dogs that would make you believe that they are bred for hunting. They are fast and strong, and they could easily hurdle the rigors of the hunting game. Though they do trail behind in the sniffing prowess department, their agility, flexibility and versatility more than makes up for what they lack in their sense of smell.
Of course, it goes without saying that hunting dogs, regardless of breed, need to be trained. Additionally, you should take good care of them, as the rigors of hunting can take their toll on your faithful canine companions. These aside, hunting dogs are great options for the serious hunter.
Personal comment :
I have a Hounds for help me hunt little disturbing creature around my farm. Although it's not a pedigree, I trained him by myself from little. Now, he's the best scent hounds around here...
Depends on what you are hunting. I have an Akita and he has taken out many animals. I have seen a Staffordshire Bull Terrier kill many small animals.
I also have a Dogue de Bordeaux x Rottie and she attempts to take down prey but is clueless. The Akita knows what to do and has a great rate of success the DDB is too noisy. Other Breeds to look at:
Rhodesian Ridgeback
make sure you research the breed thoroughly before adopting one of these awesome dogs. they might not fit your lifestyle, so decide if it fits before even considering to buy one. [:
my personal favorite is a german shorthaired pointer %26amp; weimerainer. i might be biased, though, since i am growing up around these dogs %26lt;3
I have heard that labs and beagles are well respected as hunting dogs. Beagles certainly would be good for tracking as that's what they were bred to do...use their nose!
Mostly, a rottweiler or a german sheperd. But beagles are certainly smart in tracking someone by their nose.
Hope I helped and get best answer!
The German Jagd terrier. They are very resilient.
That depends on what you are hunting, of course!
