Ellie, my french brit pup is a little under 3 1/2 months old and this is only her second time out on live birds.
In this video you see her begin to learn the difference between fresh scent and bird present, and fresh scent with no bird present. She points where I had planted the bird but the bird had wandered off. She also works on tracking the bird, then she heads back down wind to begin hunting back into the wind, at which point she is rewarded with a full snout of quail. And finally she learns that chasing is unsuccessful!! This will help further build the pointing instinct for her. I stayed back and zoomed in to capture the action, but kept the action between the dog and the bird.
I love this video as you can see her working it out in her head as she goes along. Love the style of her locking, head high puffing the sweet aromas of quail. I am tickled pink!!
