    I'm not a hunter to kill but I take Autumn out to chase birds, she loves it. She was a born hunter, she brought me a live goldfinch from our birdfeeder area one day. It was sitting just fine in her mouth with no injuries. She also points and has since she was a puppy. I take her out to the park near us and let her go after pigeons. We have a lot of pigeon racers by our house and we once picked up a stray young bird with a wing injury and returned it to the owner. I would love to take her to field trials if I had the time. I think it is a great way to nurture a dog by allowing them to do what they are bred for. You don't even have to hurt animals in the process.

    A very interesting post, and great pics. I totally get what you are saying. Schnauzers were first bred in the 16th century as guard dogs for merchants wagons. No-one and I mean absolutley no-one comes near our place without Oggy being aware of it. Which is quite comforting actually.

    Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our life whole

    Very interesting post! Great pics of Ginger, she is so adorable! I suppose Sam is a Cocker Spaniel, and that is a hunting dog. Most cockers are pets nowadays. He is not a hunting dog but there nothing more he likes then getting out and having a good chase after a squirrel! I know Cockers were bred for flushing out the woodcock, but I don't know what flushing out means. Anyone know?

    my dad told me it just means scaring the birds so they fly, so people can shoot them.

    Cool pictures. I especially love the picture of Ginger running towards the camera, mouth open with a smile and her ears flying in the wind.

    Tons of hunting dogs where I live. Great looking dogs and very obedient. Thanks for the info.

    I love Fenway, JoJo, Olivia and Nonnie!
