New Pointing Lab Club

[REHJWA]

Shouldn't a lab always be trained steady to shot so it can mark the bird/birds for retrieve?

It doesn't matter if a dog is standing or sitting. Doesn't matter if his tail is high or low. As long as it stands still.

Bomb dogs are taught to point. They smell a mine they must freeze and not move a muscle.

Can anyone join?

[Happy Gilmore]

Most clubs welcome anyone. Their focus will obviously be pointing labs. Try the link and get in touch with the listed contact.

I would like to see one that really pointed would be cool if it did, don't really get it myself.  If you want a pointer get one in my opinion but hey to each there own.

  There was a Viszla at the first training.  Gail, the owner, referred to her as a funny looking pointing lab.

Pointers can't retrieve, and retrievers can't point.

Where is club based out of?

And where are training days being held?

They are out of Centralia WA

I don’t have a pointing Lab but I do have a flusher that came from the same litter of pointing Labs so I guess that would make him half pointing Lab

Im going to join

Figured I woudl bring this back to the top hoping someone in the know would maybe post when the next training day is and where. Can we just show up? Should we contact someone first? There was some  interest last month so  .

It would be cool to see a bunch of folks interested in training show up and see how we can help or what we can learn.

A little birdie told me that he offered up some assistance in getting them squared away on what is considered pointing,they are pretty jacked up about his offer to either have an organized training weekend at his place in eastern washington in conjunction to a field day excersise on the wetside.He's trained quite a few pointing labs.As soon as you throw the word pointing into it,you train them like a pointer.

[Old Dog]

Heck, if I knew you were interested I would have filled you in when I was at your place. 

The next training day is this Sunday March 2 from 10 to 12 in Centralia.  Send inquiries to Lily Lo at ririro@gmail.com

 We will be using Lily's back yard again this month, and it's pretty small, which limits what we can do at this point.     There has been informal discussion on finding a place to train with all the facilities, but it is just discussion at this point.   

I'm still optimistic about this club.  The club is still in it's infancy, resources are limited, but I see a real commitment from enough of the members so far that it's going to improve quickly
