    Yeah weve got of track no biggy.
    Talking with the guys about cost to import dogs--wow some serious $,one Aussi pointer from Italy was $30K

    Shocking to think that a dog driven by his instincts to scent etc should be ever allowed to find pointing birds as a misdemeanour...it just isnt right...

    sad but true it happens. Iv seen young dogs blink probably through a fright factor of an opening trap and rush of wings beating-they grow outta that quick --its the human pressure blinks that are a worry
    Tweed or not to Tweed that is the question

    Then if a trapped bird is the only live bird a youngster is ever exposed to, then the blinking problem is in no way, the dogs fault in my reckoning...

    no its not,with a young dog it can just be an awakening or learning process

    It's no different to any gun dog being gun-shy because the introduction to gunshot wasn't done correctly. It's unfortunate, but it does happen.

    As others have said, instinct / prey drive / natural ability etc (or lack there of) is of no relevance what so ever to blinking.

    Being gun shy is one thing, but the natural instinct of a hunting dog being mangled is terrible...it is their whole essence...it is who and what they are...yes?

    A gundog that is gun-shy, is as useful as a gundog that blinks birds. The end result is the same....start again with a new one and don't repeat the mistake.
