Watch as a dog is taken through the steps to become steady to wing and shot: steady to wing and shot in the yard, then steady to wing and shot in the field while not pointing, and then finally steady to wing and shot in the field while pointing.

Krissy and Apollo point and retrieve some bobwhite. A great day with our dogs in Washington, Missouri working our bird dogs. Krissy makes a great retrieve down in the woods.

The best way that I’ve found to start or train a bird dog is to use pigeons and launchers to simulate what a wild bird would do. Without any verbal encouragement to point or verbal rebuke for NOT pointing, I continue to give the dog opportunities to point until their natural desire to point is witnessed.

ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
The Brittany is considered a versatile hunting dog, but it shines when it comes to bobwhite bird hunting. If you’re looking to chase a variety of bobwhite birds from roosters to chukar to grouse, a Brittany would make the perfect pointing and retrieving partner.
Although some Brittanies take to the water, it isn’t a part of their common repertoire. So don’t be disappointed if you don’t end up with an A+ duck dog. That’s just not their typical jam. And they lack the double coat found in many retrieving breeds, leaving them more open to the elements in wet conditions. They do typically have a flat or wavy coat, and they do well with a weekly brushing.
Brittanies don’t have the same issues that many other pet-focused breeds do, as hunting bloodlines remain predominant in the breed. But it’s important to have pups checked for hip dysplasia. Other health issues that occasionally come up in the breed are hyperthyroidism and epilepsy. So ask your breeder for thyroid and hip exams prior to bringing your new pup home.

This video compares the Dogtra QL-2 electronic launcher with DT Systems BL-509 launcher. Electronic launchers (aka remote launchers) and good flying birds are a great way to convince bird dogs that birds can’t be caught which encourages their natural pointing instincts to emerge.

This video highlights some of the dogs entered in the Commonwealth Chapter of Quail Forever’s second of four annual field trials. Pointers, setters, and Brittanies are shown doing what bird dogs do: pointing, backing, and retrieving.
