1. I've heard of pointing labs? is this true?
2. I though labs were just for retreiving in water for ducks and geese.
3. Because I was in the backyard with my black lab puppy where there is longer grass. He smells around and puts his nose in the grass and his front paw back, his tail is also straight. I walk over and he just gets out of position and smells around some more?
4. whats going on?
1. Yup it's true -- click on the link in my signature.
2. Untrue
3. Cool -- how old is the pup?
4. About 10% of Labs from non-pointing ancestry will point. If you want to enhance (train for) the trait, go to amazon.com and do a search for "The Pointing Labrador", by Paul and Julie Knutson -- buy the book and follow it step by step.
