Dogs that work with hunters are called gun dogs. “Gun Dogs” are judged on how well they find and retrieve birds for their hunter. In North America, labs are usually top winners at these events. More labs are being used as police dogs. One reason is because labs do not frighten the public like germen Sheppard and Doberman pinchers sometimes do. Another good is because labs have very good noses. They smell out illegal drugs, bombs, and guns.
