I have the ultimate respect for Mr. Hughes and his track record in the cover-trial world. The fact is, teaching a dog to sit has little to do with them sitting on point. That is OLD school philosophy. I also didn't see any retrieves but I might have missed that part. Another OLD wives tale is that you don't want your dog retrieving because it could break on point in a trial. ....wrongo. Both of these fallacies have more to do with the training/trainer than the dog. I have always hunted my trial dogs and trialed my hunting dogs. My dogs retrieve to hand. I have also had respectable success in horseback and cover trials - admittedly, not at the level that even approaches that of Mr. Hughes. Then again, I didn't dedicate my whole life or make a career of trialing. Training dogs is a journey, not a destination. If you don't evolve with the sport, it will leave you behind. Today, I cringe at how I used to train dogs not-so-long-ago, even though I have developed and helped develop trial champions in the past. Again, I say this with the outmost respect/reverence for Mr. Hughes. Thanks for sharing. Love Madison!

It's called "flagging". Every dog that flagged in this video had a bird that walked off and they needed to relocate the bird. Or their tail was flagging after they were steady to wing and shot. Either case it's completely normal or acceptable. Every point where a bird was produced was staunch and gorgeous. These dogs are at the top of their breed.

Great video. I have a 9-mo-old Ryman. He is very birdy but not yet pointing. I love watching videos like these. Unfortunately, some of the comments are negative. Does everything need to be a debate these days?

It would be nice to have a dog to flush 'em here in Minny, but I need the help retrieving birds. Especially early in the season, it can be hard to find 'em even when they drop right in front of you. I've been losing way too many, and that is unacceptable in my book.

If the dog work is so good where are all retrievies. Looks like dave treats his dogs like a piece of equipment instead of his hunting partner
