## Resource

If your dog has ever outrun you, outwitted you, and then magically appeared by your side to work together — congratulations, you might own a Sporting breed. In Episode 5 of our AKC Dog Group series, we're sprinting headfirst into the world of the Sporting Group. The largest of the AKC groups, these 30+ breeds are purpose-built to partner with human hunters. Hard-wired to lure, flush, and retrieve feathered game with laser-like precision, these dogs are elite performers who just happen to need a whole lot of love when they are off duty. We break down the Setters, Spaniels, Pointers, and Retrievers — and why coaching these canine athletes is equal parts game plan and group hug.
