In case anyone is not aware of Birddogs Afield it is a great show on the internet. Paul shows real bird dogs hunting real birds, really enjoyable to watch and its free.

Enjoyed watching the shooting dog classic in NH.

Was surprised in the second video that when they were relocating the pointing dog they release the backing dog also.

Is this normal for these trials? This happened 2 times during the second series, which was on wild birds.

Is this what they do when running on wild bird trials in the woods?

All new to me.

No, usually collar the backing dog and take him on when the other dog has a UP.

I have not seen the video, but it must have been considered a divided find (both dogs on point without seeing the other, or less often they both hit scent at the same time) and not a back. If a true backing situation, the backing dog should be taken on, after getting judge's permission.

The pointing dog handler walked over to his dog and told judges he was going to relocate. He taped dog head and sent it on, and at the same time the other handler taped his dog to send it on to hunt for same bird or another bird.
It just caught my attention, and was very different than what we do on horse back trials on pen birds. Would this be normal on prairie wild bird trials?
This happened in the Part 2 of the shooting dog trial video. Check it out and let me know if this is normal.
