Hunting dogs, especially the high-activity searching, chasing, pointing, and flushing breeds like beagles, pointers, and spaniels, grow accustomed to their extended explorations and pursuits when they are hunting rabbits, pheasants, woodcocks, or other small game. Their frequent activity, strong desires to please their handlers, and uncompromising passion to satisfy their instinctive drives leaves them more than content during Delaware’s various small game and upland game hunting seasons.
