The pointer is traditionally used to indicate the presence and position of sitting game and nowadays many pointers will be found working on grouse or pheasant moors.

​

All Flinthill pointers are bred to retain the instinct and ability to find game. However, teaching them to do this in a controlled way rather than simply hunting for themselves is a constant challenge!

​

But watching pointers quarter and then point when they find game is a wonderful experience and truly impressive when two or more dogs back each other on point.

​

It is also particularly satisfying to watch young puppies develop scenting abilities and learn how to find birds, often by copying the older dogs.
