quick question to the springer guys. My 2yr old "buddy" has turned into an awesome quail and pheasant flushing machine and I can only imagine what the next few years will bring when he matures out a bit and comes into his prime. He is very easy to read in the field and I am quickly learning to not doubt him for a second...he is really amazing me and I think our training time together is paying huge dividends. Lately when we find some tighter holding quail, as he zeros in on the location of birds, he will at times freeze up as almost going on point....look into the sage and then jump in. Fast forward to this afternoon and he got a bit birdy, worked the scent a bit and froze up hard at a blown over thicket of Russian olive, front leg up....just plain frozen up on point...crazy stuff. I told him with some enthusiasm..."get em" he kind of twitched a bit stayed stiff until the second command to get em and then he busted in and out came a double. got one whiffed one oh well. anybody else have a springer that showed a flash of pointer at times?
