Wirehunt, this is how it is...those whose genetic memory seeks them to surround themselves with dawgs of the Old Country i.e settery and pointery type races cannot face the thought of Pointering and Settering after the coonie...nay, nay...these dogs are the dogs of GENTRY, OFFICERS AND THE LIKE...not for them the coonie...so these dogs were hunted on the Moors and still are...after the enigmatic and noble GROUSE...we with our little continental poachers dogs, must tug at ones forelock in supplication to those with the majestics...heheheheheheheheheheheheeeeeeee, they might be from the great grouse moors, but some of us have real hunting dogs from the woodcock forest...in conclusion, the PURISTS simply cannot allow their dogs to run the coonie...a grouse dog hunting the rabbit...alors, Man!!!!

so u make do with the chinese pheasant and turn ya nose up at the majectic hare, no wonder the versatiles has nearly seen the end of the purest.

there is less gold than silver in this world too but it is more sort after by the more discerning individual

Fact: Pointer and Setters are run on birds anywhere in the world - if you want to run trials on rabbits get a spaniel or form a club, put a set of rules together and go and run your continentals on whatever you like.

Ah, do we not do so anyway...

What a load of shit. My next pointer I will use on fur. It will do it with more speed and style and certainly more point than a versatile and you big ruff tuff versatile guys will scoff

Thems fightin words, Pointer

Words no one can deny!

Only a Pointer person can really comment on that!!!!!!!!! Heheheheheheheheheeeeeeeeeeeeeee

And thats exactly it, not many people have seen a good setter or pointer in action. If you were to tell a HPR guy that there is a dog that did it better, they wouldn't believe you due to some silly notion from the old country that they shouldn't be used on fur or water for waterfowl. What if you did use them in a manner appropriate for this country?

EBs I think you are qualified to comment, not just p/s people, you have a kennel full of a type of French pygmy setter
