non-sporting
Not for athletics
Non-sporting describes dogs, activities, or equipment not related to hunting or athletic competition.
The American Kennel Club's non-sporting group includes breeds that don't fit neatly into working, herding, or sporting categories—bulldogs, poodles, dalmatians.
Outside dog breeding, non-sporting usually just means unrelated to sports: non-sporting goods, non-sporting activities.
