Hunters with dogs report the satisfaction that the dogs seem to exhibit. Excitement is evident as they see the hunters load weapons, take to the field, and begin the hunt. For a list of breeds of each type, see the detailed articles for each category: DETAILS ABOUT SOME TYPES Flushing spaniels combine fine hunting, flushing, and retrieving skills. English Springer Spaniel s are popular gundogs for a variety of cover, including Prairie s, but closely followed in popularity by American Cocker Spaniel s and English Cocker Spaniel s, who are adept at finding and flushing game out of thick cover, then retrieving fallen game to the hunter. Clumbers , Sussex , and Field Spaniel s are also increasingly popular for their slower, methodical hunting pattern. And, while all flushing spaniel breeds are good retrievers, including water work, the American Water Spaniel and the Boykin Spaniel are especially noted for their water work. When trained, Beagle s are particularly adept at chasing through thick briars and brush after Rabbit s. Many Hound breeds are excellent at treeing Raccoon s during hunting season. REFERENCES
