Trick question! All of these breeds (and many, many more) make up the diverse Sporting group. Spaniels, retrievers, setters, and pointers account for a large portion of the group, but other breeds with a history as hunting companions also make the list. Head over to our blog (link in bio) to learn more about the Sporting group.

Sleeping on their back with their legs in the air may not be the most dignified position, but for some pups, it sure is comfy. Exposing their belly can also be a way to regulate their body temp in warm weather. And those feet sticking straight up? It helps them cool down by sweating through their paws. But if sleeping like this is a new behavior for a pup that used to prefer other positions, it could be a sign that they are experiencing some pain. So if you see it start, it's a good idea to talk with your vet.
