Thread: What to breed to

If you trial and your dog points fur your out!When I hunt which has been little for the past few years I only hunt upland game birds hence also why I discourage fur

But you know when he is on fur and when he is on birds...

In my experience, true blinking is the result of a dog being overly pressured around game ie harsh steadying to wing and shot.

Pointing fur is fine as long as they handle it correctly (ie don't chase/catch etc). Quin retrieved a dead possum in the trial today and it was deemed perfectly acceptable as it was dead when he found it.

Dude, I have no idea where you get your information from, but you certainly do not get kicked out for pointing fur during Trials!

yes correct ,its been many years away from trialing I forgot --I still will not have my dog acknowledge fur by choice if possible as I don't shoot it.
Today was the first day back at a P&S trial --good to see what I have work on other than the obvious cleaning off my mutt after pissing off for a self hunt and rolling in dead animal
Great to meet up with Kawhia and RCGSP
