I made the mistake many years ago of trying to pet a guide dog in training one day when I was out for a stroll. I was reminded by the handler that she was working. I felt terrible and will never make that mistake again.

Guide dogs can also be called assistance dogs or seeing eye dogs as they were called when I was growing up. Guide dogs are trained to help people who are blind or partially blind with their daily chores such as going to work or shopping.

While hunting dogs work hard to please their masters, certain breeds have characteristics that naturally fit many types of hunting.

Scent hounds are spectacular at trailing game by smell even in the most extreme of conditions. Pointers are fantastic in their ability to track and establish the specific location of small game. While these dogs love to please, their instinctive characteristics often make training and hunting much easier.
