Sweet pics Tim...Is that a Chukar I spy in that last picture

Ace

Good eyes Ace. I just found it myself.

deaconspoint,

Great pics ...except the second one! There is no way a Pointer should ever back a Pointing Lab!!!

Yawallac,now that s where your wrong a pointer should back a dead cow
if it falls against a tree.

larue,

Be serious, obviously the lab stole the point!

It happens on occasion that Sam get's on a bird ahead of the pointers. Normally a single left behind during all the action. The little girl is a treat to watch. Here's another with Wally and Huck backing. Interesting thing is that she was not bought as a pointing lab, but a flusher. Due to her pointing tendancies I now have two Springers that do the flushing for us. When they run by Sam will go on in and help flush. If they start pointing I'm not sure what I'll do.

See the quail? A single caught out in the open by "Haddie the Great" and holding tight. Fun stuff!!

Quail dead ahead...literally Sounds like your Lab was a great bargain

She was given to my son and I by a great friend. Don't know anything about her backgroound or pedigree and don't care. I just hope I can find another like her when the time comes. I have been blessed wth great dawgs. I had another friend who could not keep his English Pointers. The trainer who had them said he could do nothing with them and that they were not hard enough to make good bird dogs. When I got them the female in this picture was so affraid of being shocked that she would not leave my side. Hugged my leg and anyone elses nearby constantly. The male in front is her pup, now a little over a year old. This has nothing to do with me as a trainer or handler guys. I'm lucky and truly blessed with these dawgs. It just shows that sometimes a little less pressure and letting a pup come about things naturally can work wonders.
