So, here's our little part to the theme...   |

WOW! I have none of Busta, not even doing a point.
She has retreived me a duck from the park...not too good to do around these parts.
Fanatstic photos, how did Billy end up with a fox in his mouth?

He did run around with it for a couple of meters but then dropped it again. He's not as persistent as his sis, but quite keen on that fox though.

Fantastic photos you all!
I love weim photos but hunting and working are my favourite.
I don't hunt with my boy Iago but I've tried taking pictures of him out in the fields sniffing out game and flushing and chasing them.
But he is so quick I can hardly catch any of the "action" with my really crappy camera...
Well done to all weims (and phographers).

Vidar Pointing in Denmark Well, thank you for this photo!!!  I thought, only my silly Allegro is "nuts", because he sometimes points like this, with his hind leg. It's so funny... ;D  ;D Does Vidar do this often? Is this typical way of pointing in younger weims, that dissapears while they mature, or what...?    |

Pointing is nowt more than an unfinished step. This can be with both front as hind legs. This has nothing to do with age and is not wrong.

This is very interesting Marjolein. I'd never seen a hind leg point. So pointing is an unfisnhished step with either front or hind legs. What about that position I sometimes see weims in, where their bodies are all terse, slightly lowered and "stretched" as if reaching out for something but with all legs on the ground? Is that a point? Or does a point necessarily require one leg flexed up? Sorry to bug you with technicalities. If you or any in the forum have a good book on hunting for ignorants you'd care to recommend, I'd love to hear it. I'd really like to understand how it all works. Thanks. rute Pointing is nowt more than an unfinished step. This can be with both front as hind legs. This has nothing to do with age and is not wrong. |

Is that a point? Or does a point necessarily require one leg flexed up? From what I know (what I read and saw at trials), this is a point! The main and most important thing for a pointing dog is to show where the game is, by stopping with tense body, pointing with a muzzle in the directiom of the game. Staying in this tense position... It does not necessarily require one leg flexed up, but with one leg flexed up is the most desirable point, because It's simply breathtaking... This is just my opinion. |

yep thats a point
ans its not only a matter of pointing the game
they also have to prevent the game from running, hypnotise the game so to speak.
With a quality point the game wil not have the guts to move an inch anymore.
Look at the last pic of sage, there's a face that's hynotising the game.

A point is when a dog suddenly realises there is game in the field. He either comes to a point straight away, usually with his front leg up. When the game is further away, he has to make an attack first. If you have watched dogs do this, you know they sneak up at the bird and suddenly they freeze in their movements once they're close enough. This can happen when the dog was about to make a step with the back leg as well.
In Holland, the point is not judged on looks or front or back legs, that would be silly, it is judged on power, stamina and ability to keep the bird where it is.

Aku is now 7 months old and I have for sure watched him point in many ways. It is fun to watch him sometimes lift the front leg and sometimes the hind leg or something in between ;D Here he is so concentrated that his other ear has curled up  Here with front leg stretched.  |

Emma, what a nice pics.
Btw, Foster pointed also sometimes with his back leg and my Longhairs too, but most of the times they do it with the front leg.
