hunting-dog
Beagle or pointer
A hunting-dog is a dog bred or trained to assist in hunting game.
Different breeds specialize in different tasks: pointers and setters locate prey, retrievers fetch downed birds, hounds track scent.
The term encompasses both the working animal and breeds traditionally used for hunting regardless of current occupation: She keeps hunting-dogs but has never hunted a day in her life.
