Lovely fotos indeed, the one with the white Pointer in the distance, and the two Labs closer to the hunters-?? How do you work a pointing dog with a Flushing dog afield without conflicts--ie: Your well trained Elhew bloodlined Pointer jacks up tighter than a nun's pursestrings, you heart beats a mile a minute as you walk in on the point- off to the side so the dog can see you, gun raised, eyes out to where the nose tells you from experience the bird(s) will flush, and then- Blam-o-- here come Butch and Sundance bustin' in, the bird(s) scatter like gangbusters, and the Pointer is throughly confused--


Hi, RWTF, the other "Lab" in Chucks 3rd picture is my German Shorthair. His pointer, my GSP and his Lab worked very well together. His Lab Jasmine is a very well heeled and trained dog as is Sky (his pointer). I've hunted a lot with my GSP and Labs together, never had any problem with the mix. In fact, there have been more than a couple times that I'm glad a Lab was with us. A pointing brred going on stanch point with a bird in the thick stuff and won't move an inch..send in the Lab! Boom! It works well if all the dogs are well managed, handled and trained. I've hunted with some crappy pointers that would break birds when another was on point, didn't honor at all.

Best!
