thanks Pointer28. I know what you mean though, watching a pointer work can make the hair on the back of your neck stand on end when its going right...it can also make your blood boil when it isn't. I have been, and continue to be at times, at both ends of the experience spectrum!
Its as much about the moorland, the grouse, and the views as it is about the dog work. All good fun. Lots of effort but continually rewarding. I just wish I was a better trainer!
Thanks again
