There are a few main categories of hunting dogs, each of which consists of a number of Dog Breeds. Hounds are dogs that are meant to sniff out prey and then chase it. Terriers were historically used to hunt pests such as rats. Dachshunds were bred to sniff out burrowing animals, scare them out of their burrows, and then chase them. Gun dogs are dogs that locate and retrieve small game after it has been shot, usually birds.
