[QUOTE="Oldtime Shooter13, post: 2653456, member: 109503"] Yes, Labs and Springers pointing does happen. I have never encouraged or rewarded the pointing behavior, it is not what I want in a flushing breed. All of my flushing breeds were trained to work close and when the dog got birdie your skeet skills better be honed! I had a Field Springer that was the dampest flushing dog I ever hunted with. He would wind a bird check where I and my hunting partner were and usually flush the bird for a quartering or oncoming flush. One of the best flushing dogs I ever hunted over. Nothing trained he just knew how hunt instinctively. Both sire and dame were on site and his mother would work like this in a filed, but she was a field trial dog. He had one really bad trait and I always told anyone that went hunting with me to never reach down to take a bird from him, he will bite you. He wouldn’t bother you unless you tried to take his bird. He would offer, but you had better ignor him! He didn’t live a long life, but was a great hunter for 7 years until he did bite someone without a bird? Anyway, good luck with your hunting partner and enjoy her for what she is, your hunting partner. Their lives are too short! [/QUOTE]
