I picked B

Sra

why hound class?

i thought all breeds were capable of doing that

Finally, one I can anwser!

Actually, this dog would be listed under Group 1: Sporting Dogs by AKC standards. These cover retrievers and gun dogs. The varying Hound group covers anything from Salukis to beagles. Internationally, it would be listed under Group 8: Flushing dogs/water dogs/retrievers. And while all breeds may be able to flush game, definately not all dogs can retrieve them! TMI, hey?

To check your answer, let's break down the question and the options provided:

The American Kennel Club (AKC) is considering recognizing a new dog breed that is medium in size and good at flushing game birds out of hiding and retrieving them. They then ask in which group this breed would likely be categorized.

The options are:

A. Hound
B. Sporting
C. Terrier
D. Working

To determine the correct answer, let's consider the characteristics of the breed described in the question. It is medium in size and excels at flushing game birds and retrieving them. Based on these traits, we can eliminate options A (Hound), C (Terrier), and D (Working) since they don't align with the breed's capabilities.

The term "flushing game birds" suggests a breed that is skilled at locating birds and scaring them out of hiding, while "retrieving them" implies the ability to fetch the birds and bring them back to the handler. These are characteristics commonly associated with the Sporting group of dog breeds.

Therefore, the correct answer is B. Sporting.

It seems that your answer, B, aligns with our analysis. Well done!
