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. da*n, you should be a judge gr.

And here is our Boogie pointing a pheasant during her evening walk. Although we live in a big city (Warsaw) we have a small field with birds 100m from our home  Yesterday in the "real" fied in the country she did fabulous points but of course we didn't take the camera that time (usually when we want take some pics we meet no birds hehe)    Magda |

Bravo Boogie! I have been always convinced, that it is very easy to train a gundog in a big city  Basing on your experiences you should write a manual for new weim owners: "How to train a weim without leaving a city. A new look at gundog training." ;D ;D ;D You know, something in an american self-help book's style... ;D |

Hi Iza,
There are always some people (even MANY people during weekends) who are crossing by going for a walk and it's easy when your dog trains a point...little bit worse when he is practising retrieving a pheasant...faces of these people....hehe (we usually go to the country to practise with animals but sometimes it's too tempty to go near home and do some hunting lessons:) )
Magda
p.s. We indeed have some ideas how to do hunting training in the city hehe

Magda, I hope you don't prepare bloodtracking paths in the backyard  A filigree blonde walking with a bottle of blood.... poor neighbours.... Please, don't either try to shoot the pheasants there. One of our friends was accused of carrying a gun and killing ducks by some passers-by, who called in the police! He was taken to the police station and was kept there for some time before he managed to explain the whole thing. The truth is that a part of his club's hunting ground enters partially into the city. And he had the right to hunt there=in the city! I can imagine those people's faces too. As for retrieving the pheasant, aren't you afraid of Greenpeace or Empatia campaigners? |

We were accused of killing dukcs near home by some elderly woman too hehe It was couple years ago when we were practising "duck hunting " with Nasti. We have a small pond near home, Krzysiek was standing with Nasti near the water, there was a shot and a dead duck landing on the water (it was me who hidden was throwing dead bird). Suddenly this lady appeared and started to scream that we were killing ducks etc....you can imagine such situation hehe The same was with Lola, when she was retrieving a duck's wing from the pond in the park. We met there a labrador who stole the wing and ate it! His owner was shock  hehe We haven't done any bloodtracking near home only tracking with dead pheasants and rabbits (I have no idea how is "wloczka" in english  ) Generally we try do train near home as rerely as possible, country is quite far away but you can do almost whatever you wish there:) Magda |

We met there a labrador who stole the wing and ate it! He apparently must have come from a pure showline. We were accused of killing dukcs near home by some elderly woman too ;D (I have no idea how is "wloczka" in english ) Neither have I. Maybe "scent track"? |
