What type of hunting dog that appears in a Good-bye, My Lady?
Basenji
Good-bye, My Lady (film)
Good-bye, My Lady is a 1956 American film adaptation of the novel "Good-bye, My Lady" (1954) by James H. Street.
 The book had been inspired by Street's original 1941 story which appeared in "The Saturday Evening Post".
 Street was going to be the principal advisor on the film when he suddenly died of a heart attack.
 A boy learns what it means to be a man by befriending and training a stray Basenji dog and then is forced to surrender her to its rightful owner.
 Both readers of the story and film-goers found the boy's eventual loss of the dog unexpected.
Basenji
The Basenji is a breed of hunting dog.
 It was bred from stock that originated in central Africa.
 Most of the major kennel clubs in the English-speaking world place the breed in the Hound Group—more specifically, in the sighthound type.
 The Fédération Cynologique Internationale places the breed in group five, spitz and primitive types, and the United Kennel Club (US) places the breed in the Sighthound & Pariah Group.
Double-nosed Pointers
Double-nosed Pointers are a type of gundog that have the unusual feature of a split or double nose.
 It is believed that this unusual nose gives this dog extra sensitivity to smells, a primary reason it was chosen as a hunting dog.
 It appears to be a normal dog's nose, but with the nostrils separated by a band of skin and fur dividing the nose all the way to the dog's upper lip. West Siberian Laika
The West Siberian Laika or "WSL", is a breed of hunting dog and a breed of spitz type.
 Russian publications indicate that the term West Siberian Laika loosely applied to hunting dogs originating with the Mansi and Khanty people in Ural and West Siberia, but there were no standards or registrations of WSL as such until 1930.
 Then WWll disrupted it for a while, but "systematic breeding with registrations" resumed after the war ended, in 1946.
 This was the time the breed began taking modern shape.
 Before that hunters only knew of Mansi Laika and Khanty Laika.
 In early 1960 many hunters in Ural still preferred the term Mansi Laika, when speaking of West Siberian Laika.
 In Russian language, the term Laika originated from the word "layat" that means to bark.
 The word Laika simply means "barker".
 Any hunting Laika is a bark pointer (pointing at animal of interest by barking and staying with the animal ).
 It is a versatile dog depending on use and environment, but in certain parts of the country they have become more specialized. Ariege Pointer
The Braque de l’Ariège, translated into English as the Ariege Pointing Dog or Ariege Pointer, is a breed of dog, a French hunting dog of pointing gun dog type.
 The breed is kept primarily as a hunting dog, not as a pet or showdog. Petit Bleu de Gascogne
The Petit Bleu de Gascogne (FCI No.31) Is a breed of dog of the scenthound type, originating in France and used for hunting in packs.
 Today's breed is the descendant of a very old type of large hunting dog.
 The Petit Bleu de Gascogne is not a small (petite) dog, the name comes from its use on small game. Chien Français Blanc et Orange
The Chien Français Blanc et Orange (FCI No.316) is a breed of dog of the scenthound type, originating in France.
 The breed is used for hunting in packs and descends from the old Hound of Saintonge type of large hunting dog. African wild dog
The African wild dog ("Lycaon pictus"), also known as African hunting dog, African painted dog, painted hunting dog or painted wolf, is a canid native to Sub-Saharan Africa.
 It is the largest of its family in Africa, and the only extant member of the genus "Lycaon", which is distinguished from "Canis" by its fewer toes and its dentition, which is highly specialised for a hypercarnivorous diet.
 It is classified as endangered by the IUCN, as it has disappeared from much of its original range.
 The current population has been estimated at roughly 39 subpopulations containing 6,600 adults, only 1,400 of which are fully grown.
 The decline of these populations is ongoing, due to habitat fragmentation, human persecution, and disease outbreaks. German Spaniel
The German Spaniel, also known as the Deutscher Wachtelhund (German quail dog), is a breed of dog that was developed in Germany around 1890, and is used as a hunting dog.
 Descended from the old German breed, the Stoeberer (lit.
 "rummager"), which became popular with commoners following the Revolutions of 1848 in the German states, who required a versatile hunting dog.
 Stoeberer is now a type of hunting dog in Germany with the Wachtelhund being its sole member.
 The breed is not very well known outside of Germany, but was recognised by the United Kennel Club in 1996. North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association
The North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association was founded 1969 in Goodwood, Ontario, Canada by a group of pudelpointer and griffon enthusiasts.
 Presently based in Arlington Heights, Illinois, NAVHDA "is a nonprofit corporation whose purpose is to foster, promote, and improve the versatile hunting dog breeds in North America; to conserve game by using well trained reliable hunting dogs before and after the shot; and to aid in the prevention of cruelty to animals by discouraging nonselective and uncontrolled breeding, which produces unwanted and uncared for dogs."
 The group has chapters in most states of the U.S. and provinces of Canada which sponsor training and testing programs.
