caught my girl out in the middle of the paddock scenting the air and "half" pointing yesterday......
shes a whippet x with maybe heading dog and terrier ....so not your traditional pointer......when shes in the bush she will lock up when she confirms (by sight)a game animal briefly then will stalk in if i dont catch her in time she will try and "herd" the animal back to me.....which may sound good but its not ideal its quite difficult to get a shot at an animal running full tit towards you .... i think its common to lose more deer than you get while you learn to work as a team with your dog
