Gundogs

Gundogs: training, breed guides and field work for spaniels, retrievers and HPR breeds

A good gundog transforms a day in the field. A bad one – or an undertrained one – can ruin it. The difference comes down to the hours put in before the season starts, the understanding of how a particular breed thinks and works, and the handling decisions made in the field when it matters.

Fieldsports Journal’s gundog pages cover the breeds that work across the full spectrum of British and international fieldsports – Labrador retrievers, cocker and springer spaniels, Hungarian vizslas, German shorthaired pointers, weimaraners and more. Training from puppy to finished dog, breed selection, health, nutrition, field trial coverage and profiles of the handlers and trainers who have spent a lifetime producing exceptional working dogs.

For anyone serious about the dog end of the sport, this is where the work begins.
