As one of the world’s leading authorities on bird dogs, from pointers to flushers and retrievers, the GUN DOG staff is constantly fielding questions from our readers on which is the best bird dog out there. This year we took our innovation and inspiration to a new level by building the best bird dogs for you.
In this decades-in-the-making, exclusive development, GUN DOG partnered with the world’s leading animal researchers, scientists, and breeders to pioneer the very best gun dogs. We are now we’re proud to present them with the world.
These first-ever, literal bird-brained gun dogs are scientifically engineered and programmed to know exactly where to locate birds for you. Gone are the days of blaming the dog for a lack of finds—now is the time to start living your best days of upland hunting with your very own bioengineered bird dog.
Check out our behind-the-scenes video below on the development of these new breeds!
Brand-New Bird Dog Breeds The Ringador The brand-new “Ringador” bird dog breed represents the pinnacle of retriever revelry and is sure to steal the show as North America’s newest favorite hunting dog breed. (GUN DOG photo) It’s no secret that more upland hunters choose to chase the ring-necked pheasant more than any other game bird and most of them prefer to hunt with the family favorite Labrador retriever. It’s no wonder, as this do-it-all dog breed is ready to run down ring-necks in the morning and then take a snooze on the couch during the evening news. While the original Labrador was bred with the stamina to endure the all-day hikes through CRP and crash through the cattails to flush those hardy, late season longtails, the “Ringador” is genetically programmed to think like a ringneck. He’ll know right where to go to find forage and he’ll seek out the thick, thermal cover of cattail sloughs where roosters take respite to make short work of your wingshooting wanderings.
As if that wasn’t enough, we asked our team of scientists to keep the Ringador’s voice box intact, allowing for your mutant mutt to pull double duty as a locator dog. He will cluck, cackle, and crow to help locate every nearby rooster so you know where to start hunting.

The Grousetter The brand-new Grousetter bird dog breed gets straight to the point and is the easy choice for the serious grouse hunter and setter affectionado. (GUN DOG photo) If a feathered out, close working cover dog is what you’re after, our brand-new “Grousetter” will be ready to bust the brush and beat the odds with you this season. Nothing speaks to the nostalgia and narrative of upland bird hunting quite like the notable icon of the Northwoods, the ruffed grouse. Known for escaping hopeful shot strings and bringing grown men and women to their knees, the King of gamebirds has equal experience outwitting even the smartest of bird dogs—until now, as our new Grousetter will bring a quick checkmate to that chess match.
Admired by ardent grouse hunters for their beauty and brains, the English setter has long been a staple of the saplings, with long flowing fur and a careful and deliberate search pattern to pin down even the rowdiest of ruffs. Now, you can follow your dog with the utmost confidence to put you into prime shooting position to cut off the fast-flushing, rocketing ruffies before they ever see you coming. Gone are the days of being dumbfounded by drummers, with a Grousestter at your side you’ll have the sportiest and savviest bird dog to brag about all season long.

The Chukhair Poised to outperform all others across every crag and cliff of chukar country, the covey-crushing Chukhair is no doubt going to dominate the elite ranks of red-legged bird chasers this season. (GUN DOG photo) The all-new Chukhair breed is sure to become the perfect complement to every hardcore chukar hunter this season. Chukar hunters are tough, and they place an incredible demand on their dogs. These individuals are often complete gluttons for punishment and aren’t scared of getting their butts kicked by the desert-dwelling devil bird. The GUN DOG staff are no strangers to the “up one ridge and down the other,” thigh-burning, side-stepping, flyaway floundering that hunting these bold birds commands. It’s this first-hand experience that went into the genesis of our all-new, ultra-premium pointing breed.
Built on the slender and graceful body of the German shorthaired pointer, we’ve crafted this cunning canine to possess the rugged tenacity and cunning trickery of the cagey chukar . No longer the next-ridge ranging GSP you used to know, the Chukhair has a brain to seek out the snow line, head straight for the up-slope springs and other water sources, and pinpoint the caprock-covered, high point holdouts where chukars concentrate. No more scree scrambling on a wing and a prayer, with a Chukhair at your side, you can rest assured the birds will be present when you get there.

Regain a calm composure by hunting behind our carefully curated and highly anticipated quail hunting specialist breed—the “Bointer.” This point of perfection brings out the best of the bobwhite quail and the sleek and sporty physique of the stylish English pointer. Combining the charm and character of two iconic southern symbols into one unique and useful pointing dog package, the Bointer is sure to transport you back through time while paying homage to several time-honored wingshooting traditions.
If a stately and dignified bird dog has made its way into your doctrine, there is no better breed to choose from to accompany you on your southern soirees chasing Gentleman Bob . Bust up a covey and watch with wonder as your Bointer is guaranteed to regroup at the Bobwhite’s welcoming whistle, giving you a serious advantage against your quarry.
