They have boundless stamina, energy, a high-level work drive and are undoubtedly one of the top hunting dog breeds. What makes them stand out from the rest is that they are an all-around gundog and multitasker.
Not only are GSPs excel at pointing, allowing hunters to take a more accurate shot, but they are equally skilled at hunting and retrieving games. English Springer Spaniels, the classic bird dog, is a popular choice of first-time bird dog owners, and for a good reason. Obedient, desire to work with hunters, and keen to learn, English Springers make excellent hunting companions. They are well-suited for upland bird hunting and are regarded as one of the best flushing breeds thanks to their hunting style, in which they would, without any hesitation, chase and spring the birds into flight and allow hunters to take the shot.
So if you plan to hunt chukar, partridge, and especially pheasant that requires an aggressive flush, the English Springer Spaniel is a prime choice. Perhaps the most popular grouse dog in North America, English Setters are a breed that almost every hunter can recognize and acknowledge their skills.
They can search for quarry silently and have the ability to do that systematically and methodically. And when they spot one, they will crouch down, signaling to hunters their find. One thing though, there are two lineages of English Setters, conformation and field. The former has a larger frame and longer feathers, specifically bred for the show ring. On the other hand, the field line has a smaller frame, is lightly feathered, and is more suitable for hunting.
Small in size but big in determination and energy, Beagles are among the most famous rabbits and hares hunting dog breeds. Not only do they have endless energy that allows them to trail bunnies for hours, but they also have an acute sense of smell and are incredibly determined to pursue their prey. They will tirelessly venture through the roughest terrain possible with steely determination and vigor, following any rabbit or hare that might be out there. They work excellent in a pack for hunting, and six to eight Beagles make a good pack.
The infamous coonhound breed, Treeing Walker Coonhound, is, without a doubt, an exceptional choice for coon hunting and is, in fact, the preferred coon dog of many experienced coon hunters. Walkers can easily maneuver through any location and environment and are very good at what they do, thanks to their keen nose, innate high prey drive, and superior speed. These traits allow them to quickly and effectively locate a raccoon, and when they spot one, they will relentlessly pursue it until they chase it up to trees.
And from their name, you probably have already guessed that these hounds excel at treeing quarry, a task that they perform flawlessly and one that they take great pride in. Once, say, for instance, a raccoon is treed, these hounds will let out distinctive barking until hunters arrive.
While American Foxhounds were originally bred to hunt foxes and represent one of the most famous breeds for fox hunting, they are particularly popular with deer hunting nowadays.
Deer driving requires fast, agile hounds with a powerful nose, superior stamina to keep up, and have the endurance and a love for singing, so hunters know where they are. And American Foxhounds fit that bill perfectly. They are incredibly fast, can run all day without tiring, and have an excellent sense of smell that allows them to pick up the slightest scent of deer.
Rhodesian Ridgebacks are a famous big-game hunting dog breed originally bred in Africa to hunt lions, hence also known as the African lion dog. And, as you might have guessed, they are very good at it. As a matter of fact, they do just as well with other large quarry, thanks to their size, strength, speed, intelligence, and determination. And of course, it was also their toughness and fearlessness that made them great big-game hunting dogs, as they are unafraid of any big game quarry and can take on any challenge.
Mountain lions are undoubtedly one of the most challenging games to hunt. Not only because they are dangerous, but they can also be very elusive at times and are superb at hiding. Meaning if you want to bag a cougar, you will need hounds that have a powerful nose to find one. There are, of course, many breeds that are all capable of hunting mountain lions, for instance, Cur, Black and Tan, Plott, Redbone, and Walker.
However, Bluetick Coonhounds are perhaps the best breed for this job. What that means is that they can pick up the faintest trace of the game, allowing them to piece together a trail left by the big cat even hours after it passed by. This alone makes them excellent hunters of cougars.
