O TO CRUFTS gundog day and you have the opportunity to see every one of the 38 breeds of gundog that are recognised by the Kennel Club. All will be beautifully groomed and — in theory, at least — great examples of their respective breeds. However, though they may be called gundogs, only a minute percentage will have been trained to the gun, let alone worked at what they were originally bred for. Fire a gun in the ring and I’m sure the majority would bolt back to their benches.
