Thread: Why mixing headers and pointers?

heading dogs USUALLY only bark if in high pressure/stress situation eg bailing up animal like pig or deer...they naturally want to bring game/animals to the master......it is hilarious/wondeful thing to be in paddock with young heading pup and mob of sheep.if left along the pup will bring sheep to master without any commands,it just happens,they dont know why,just that is what to do....I remember my heading dog herding a pig back up to where I was then grabbing it for me....
Ive had huntaway/gsp and huntaway golden retriever..both were hard to keep from barking..my current bitch is beardie collie X GSPXlab and we still struggle with not barking at times.
I would love a cocker spaniel or welshy Xheading dog..... small,light and quiet....
