The Signal Centre.
The pointer’s job is to find the bird. Coco can find and point a bird but he learnt nothing tonight. I did everything right. I dropped the bird off on the far side of the ground and drove round so that I was one hundred and fifty yards down wind of the bird. I got the dog out and he ran straight to the bird only stopping for a dump along the way. Again he stood up on his toes to point but nothing happened when I triggered the launcher. I had to release the bird with Coco’s nose not a foot from the bird and he didn’t try to snap at it. So I’ll have to think about what to do with the monster and for now I don’t think bird work is on the cards.
