Sporting Group is the name of a
breed group of
dogs, used by
kennel clubs to classify a defined collection of
dog breeds. Not all kennel clubs include the same breeds in the
Sporting Group, and some kennel clubs do not use the
Sporting Group classification.
Sporting Group dogs are in general those used for hunting birds and small game, but not all dogs of this
type are included in the
Sporting Group of any particular kennel club.
