you guys/gals really like what you do.CONGRATS.it something to read the time/work you folks put into this.you must enjoy it a lot.
my interest is in HUNTING ONLY with toby.toby is my first lab.boy do i get looks using him on grouse.my next one will be another SMALL LONG LEGGED LAB.....
its great to read what you folks are doing. driving the miles to the trails etc with your dog. thats great.
i wrote info on how toby points for as long as 13 minutes on rabbits over on huntingnet in the sporting dog topic under WHAT IS BEST ALL AROUND DOG.
toby was never pointing lab but i believe if i would have TRAINED him to do so on grouse, he would have.
i believe that labs have this in them to point. but i feel the labs use their nose different than the POINTERS .labs use their eyes more too.toby can pick up animals 100yds away.i never saw set of eyes on dog like that.
take care sproul
