Thread: Partridge with my pointer Renata

i think putting food on the table was the main reason why it was and is still done, we seem to have taken a mixed approach to proper work with P/S over here.
the hare in the uk by tradition was the quarry of the hound or coursing dog but then pointers and setters are the dogs of the moors, hares and grouse.... in nz we have this misconception that the pheasant and quail is the rightful game of the specialist.
with our low game bird numbers should we not expect the same game manners regardless of the game flying or running away.......a good run and find and a solid point by the dog is worth walking the miles for, and for me if it wasn't for ole long those miles would be very long.
