What are the best dogs for hunting?

After many years in the field, we believe that the selection we present below are the ideal dogs for hunting.

What do you think?

Major hunt

Big game hunting is an activity that requires large and strong dogs. These dogs must be able to chase and kill large animals, such as wild boars, deer, roe deer or bears.

Some of the best dogs for big game hunting are:

  • Dogo Argentino : It is a very powerful and aggressive breed of dog, ideal for hunting dangerous animals.
  • Dachshund : It is a small but very brave and tenacious dog, ideal for hunting foxes, badgers and other burrowing animals.
  • Spanish Hound : It is a very versatile breed of dog, which can be used for hunting a wide variety of animals.
  • German Shorthaired Pointer : It is a very loyal and obedient dog, ideal for team hunting.
  • Spanish Alano : Mythical in hunting, it is a very robust and strong breed of dog, ideal for hunting wild boar.
  • Caleria Bears : Perfect for high mountain hikes

Choosing the best dog for big game hunting will depend on the needs and preferences of the hunter. Factors such as the type of hunting to be practiced, the terrain in which to hunt and the temperament of the hunter must be taken into account.

Small game

Small game hunting is an activity that requires small dogs and great agility. These dogs must be able to track and collect small animals, such as pheasants, partridges, rabbits or hares.

Some of the best dogs for small game are:

  • Greyhound : It is a very fast and athletic breed of dog, ideal for hunting hares and rabbits.
  • Beagle : It is a very sociable and affectionate breed of dog, ideal for family hunting.
  • German Shorthaired Pointer : It is a very versatile breed of dog, which can be used for both small game and large game.
  • Daschund : It is a small but very tenacious dog, ideal for hunting rabbits and other prey that hide in burrows.
  • English Pointer : It is a very obedient breed of dog with a good sense of smell, ideal for hunting birds.
  • Drahthaar : Versatile dog for both small and small game, it has a snout and intelligence that makes it a perfect dog for small game.
