Well from looking at where most of you are from, I doubt any of you even know what a gun dog is let alone sporting dog and most likely just have a dog around for just a pet. Who cares what name they give the dog forum.

Someone mentioned something about dogs being used to flush birds for a Hawk. Yeah the hawk is used instead of a gun and the dogs used for it are flushing breeds like Black lab, Chesapeake, golden lab ect. Still a gun dog no matter how they used for hunting. Dogs used for competition hunts are still gun dogs no matter how you look or don't look at it.

Many of you also own guns and that don't mean most of you are hunters, far from it actually.
