Find your Dog in the Sporting Dog Group and then Learn His Grooming Needs

In the sporting dog group, dog grooming for these breeds of dogs are trims meant to show off the body conformation of the dog and aid and assist them in their job.

These field and hunting breeds of dogs make great companions and are loving and loyal.

Depending on the dog will depend on what dog grooming equipment you will be needing. If they are a coated breed of dog you will want your dog shampoo, dog grooming clippers, dog brush, dog grooming comb and your dog grooming scissors.

In the American Kennel Club “The Complete Dog Book” these are the dogs listed in the Sporting Group. They are:

Pointers: German shorthaired and the German Wirehaired Pointers and Pointers

Retrievers: Chesapeake Bay, Curly Coated, Flat-Coated, Golden and Labrador

Setters: English, Gordon, and Irish

Spaniels: American Water, Clumber, Cocker, English Cocker English Springer, Field, Irish Water, Sussex, and the Welsh Springer Spaniel

Brittany

Visla

Weimaraner

Wired Haired Pointing Griffon

These dogs were bred with the specific purpose of hunting. Finding and flushing out game along with retrieving game. Most of these dogs are good in their natural state with just brushing and bathing, while others, especially in the spaniel category, are kept in a specific trim.
