I agree with all of that Kawhia, and yes, tradition is hard to shake. Much like the retrieving comments in the other thread.
I don't shoot fur over my pointer not due to tradition, but because it doesn't appeal to me. Purely personal choice. I don't mind pointers or setters used in that capacity though, as long as the dog is putting food on the table in the correct manner who cares. Thats why I was interested to hear Linyeras approach
