She, the heeler, doesn't really point, she basically flushes the pheasants up(please give me an accurate definition of flushing, I am pretty sure I know what it is, but I might be wrong, she also retrieves whatever I shoot, or she happens to snag and brings them back to me, she just doesn't always want to give up what "she killed"

A blue heeler is a cross between a collie and a dingo, so maybe that is why it is capable of hunting, just like the sheppard/collie cross that you had seen perform
