Do Brits Point?

This question can be answered with the photo. This is Manny at work bringing out the instincts with the 'wing on the string' technique. He loves to play this game and when it triggers his pointing instinct, he locks up. I did not do anything to position his legs. He did that on his own. The 'wing' on the end of the string has pheasant scent drops on it from a few days ago. During this session, the grass was wet and the 'wing' got damp. That intensifies the scent and really gets the dog going. The question is...would you hunt behind a dog that pointed pheasants like this? Sure you would. The real question is...will the natural talents transition to the real thing in the field. There is only one way to find out....
