Terry and Janet Chandler Rugerheim Kennels German Shorthaired Pointers/Horses Las Cruces, NM 575-382-5231 >>Jere Said: Methinks you have generated a definition of FAB all your own. Nothing wrong with that, but this one seems to require some interference with the dog by the handler. FWIW the pointers I hunted over as a youngster never acknowleged the handlers presence in any way - the pointed and held point until released. Those V=-dogs may be different as may be PLs which barely point IME.<< Jere<< In my world, if a dog shows any sign of letting up on intensity when the handler arrives, you are done. You cannot win with a dog like that. I train all of my dogs this way. You must take a long time getting them steady, and have a very light hand. If they let up at all, or drop their tail, or change their expression or body language, you are done. I train some Weims and Vizlas that will acknowledge the handlers approach. The good ones won't though. tc
