Hunting dog breeds
Championship noses and legs that don't tire: these 11 breeds in the directory belong to the AKC Hound and Sporting groups. Today most of them hunt balls, but the instinct comes built in.

A hunting breed speaks of its origin, not its future: what matters at home is that it tends to follow a scent or anything that runs without hearing you. Leash on the street and a fenced yard, and check prey drive on each page if you have a cat.
