RE: National Bird Dog Challenge
I love that show, It makes me appreciate what a good dog and a good hunt really is.
In the Pointing Division the dogs have the worst style: stauching point with a tail at 9 Oclock or worse and they always are creeping, relocating,
and flagging. We call this a form of BlinkingBirds. Most are not brokethey bump birds or trap em. Sometimes they even run past them and the handler flushes them.
The Birds are even worse. the handlers have to kick and kick and kick to get them to fly.
