The Flush/Stop Cue
The Flush/Stop Cue
I'll be posting some new videos soon on how we hunt over and handle the dogs with the Higgins method. Below is a link to a related video shot a couple of years ago. The hunts are quiet and calm. Like a walk in the park.

Accompanying video text:
This is one of our black pointer pups, Olive, in the field today during one of our training hunts. Here, she finds a bird and waits for us to catch up. Once we arrive, I get the shooter in place and give Olive our Flush/Stop cue. She did her beautiful aggressive flush to present the bird to the guns, but the bird refused to fly. So what does she do? She stops, resets and waits to be cued again. She does a second flush on cue and stops. She is then sent for the retrieve. Dogs are pretty smart if you trust them and give them the freedom to make decisions.
No e-collars are used. The collar in the video is a GPS collar.

Hello Art. She is a pointer from my imported European lines. You don’t see many solid colored pointers in the states.

Not intending to hijack your topic (apologies), but since you've mentioned solid-colored Pointers here is a photo of my solid black Pointer (all titles AKC):
Ch V.I.P.'S READY EVER AFTER OF DANCINDOLL JHA RI CGC TT TKN RATN
(sired by one of my dogs, he's out of a solid black NZ import bitch, she goes back to Aussie solid Pointer bird dog lines)
He's a great bird dog!!
Finished his show champion title this year in about one month's time with four major wins, plus all of the other titles were earned in this year too. Absolutely the best and most loving temperament, too. A good number of solids out on the East Coast USA - gooooooo SOLIDS!

Congrats on an obviously exceptional dog.

Not Hijacking , but to expropriate, Super looking dog KC !
Whenever 'color' is accentuated I think of Black lab /yellow lab , and Liver-white Spaniel/White-liver spaniel ,then comes along a Boykin. lolx
Kudos on the 'Dual' show/working, not an easy for many .
........
Always enjoyed Higgins videos ,because they show what many people do and have done the same way for decades. Was the video clipped at the end ?
