Each dog has two common abilities:Retrieving and Sniffing. These are vital in Contract hunts as they determine additional DE bonus that the player can receive.

Sniffing ability :
  • Determines the amount of birds/varmint animals sniffed out by the dog
  • gives kills of extra animals, apart from the Objective; grants the Bonus Kills reward
Retriever ability:
  • Determines if the dog can retrieve a killed bird/varmint animal
  • Depending on the number of retrieves done, a bonus is awarded to the player at the end of the mission
These recommendations are only present in the Dog Adventure Contract hunts and are a great way to obtain Diamond Eagles.
