Open Question: I rescued a German Shorthaired Pointer. On walks, she often runs ahead of me to high brush and points. Why? ? |
We adopted a German Shorthaired Pointer from a local bird dog rescue. I understand the basics, but we don’t hunt and she was never trained. When we walk, she always walks ahead. She will slow down, point, creep, freeze, then run to something I can’t see. She always returns. Is this how it would work in the field? Is she “expecting” me to do something? (like shoot) I want to better understand. She is 2 and 1/2 but was a pup when we got her. She LOVES tall grass.? Don’t birds live in trees? I LOVE her. I want to “get” her and understand what’s going on in her head. She never kills anything, but instead will hold it down with her nose until I get there or call her off…frogs, spiders, groundhogs, kitties, beetles, toys. She gets about 2 hours of off leash exercise in the woods daily.
