Gun dogs were developed to help hunters find and retrieve game, usually birds. The types of gun dogs include pointers and setters, flushing dogs and retrievers. Gun dogs can make great pets; they are loyal and friendly, love to play and are affectionate with their families. They are usually gentle with children. Gun dogs have a lot of energy and need a lot of exercise. They have been known to run off so they need to be watched whenever there is an opportunity for escape.
