[QUOTE="Ponyroper, post: 55327, member: 423"] My brother and a friend bring their dogs (GWP) when they come to hunt and they drive me nearly insane with their constant whistling trying to keep their undisciplined dogs within 100 yards. Sometimes it sounds like you're in the middle of a covey of refs at a bad football game. The whistles seldom help and they are constantly busting birds way out of range but boy are they proud when their dog goes on point every once in a while. Unfortunately half the time it's a false point and a waste of time running up to the dog. My current old Lab cross stays right in front of me and when she gets on a trail and starts to run down a tree row without me a little buzz and she turns around and comes back-no yelling or whistling needed. When I tease them about all the birds their dogs ran past and that my dog puts up their response is usually that I'm just, "Shitass lucky.". :-) Just for an example, years ago we used to party hunt when there weren't many birds to shoot and one day me and my dog got 7 birds and my dog picked up a bird with a broken wing that some other hunter had lost. My brother got one bird and our friend got none. Needless to say, we don't 'party hunt' anymore. ;-) On top of that my old lab was a natural pointer and if the bird didn't run he just stood there close to the bird until I got close enough to flush it. Sure miss old Thumper. [/QUOTE]
