Here in the southern Australian State of Victoria,Duck, Quail, Pheasant and Rabbit hunting accounts for the majority of hunting involving dogs, although some Deerhunters are using scent trailing hounds for Sambar Deer in the Alpine Regions.

For pure Duckhunters, the Labrador is still reigns supreme, but Chesapeakes are making an appearance on the Swamps. The Curley Coated Retriever is rarely seen nowadays.

Quail and Pheasant hunters primarily favour the HPR breeds like Brittany Spaniels and GSP's, and to a lesser extent Vizlas, Wiemaraners, English Pointers and Setters.

Some Rabbit hunters use English Springers, but usually one or more of the above breeds are pressed into service, along with Fox Terriers and Jack Russells, which are also used for Fox Hunting.

Since there is no Pig hunting to be had this far south, we rarely see the breeds favoured by Pighunters here.

Here is a photo of my Brittany pointing a Pheasant;
