Which dog type is known for its natural instincts in water and woods activities?

Non-sporting
Sporting
Working
Terrier

The correct answer is: Sporting

The choice of sporting dogs is well-founded due to their history and breeding for activities that involve water and woods. Sporting dogs, like retrievers and spaniels, have been specifically developed to assist hunters in retrieving game, which often requires natural swimming abilities and a keen sense of tracking in various terrains, including forests and wetlands. Their instincts and physical characteristics, such as webbed feet or water-resistant coats, enhance their capabilities in these environments. This breed group embodies traits like stamina, endurance, and a friendly disposition, making them well-suited for activities like hunting, field trials, and outdoor sports. These inherent traits distinguish them from other groups, such as non-sporting or terriers, which may have different primary functions or focuses.
