Table Talk · April 21, 2021
I was glad to catch up with professional handler Tuni Conti. She told me she is on the road to recovery after what turned out to be a stroke. I wrote last week that Tuni found herself in the ER while at the Pointer National in Brooksville, Florida, from what she thought was dehydration. After visiting her regular medical professionals upon her return home, she learned that she had a stroke. After a stay in the hospital to ensure everything is okay, Tuni is now home and cleared for local travel. She was told she could show a few dogs. Friends are asked to keep an eye on her while at shows to make sure she is okay. We are so glad that you are healthy, my friend!!!
The Head
For every breed, the head is the hallmark of its type. Details of head type are critical elements in terms of establishing that vital link between type and function. The head could be considered as the most vital structural element to assist the dog in performing its traditional function. Therefore, it goes without saying that the general structure of the head is dependent on breed and function. No aspect of head type is arbitrary or vague, although semantics can sometimes give that false impression. Proper head structure dictates a dog’s ability to do its job.

When You Have to Throw Away The Book
For 75-80 percent of the dogs in any sporting breed, or for that matter, just about any breed in the seven groups, conventional training methods for whatever you are asking them to do will get the desired results. In other words, these dogs can be successfully trained “by the book.” Another five percent or so of the dogs in any sporting breed have absolutely no interest in birds or any aspect of their job in the field. For these field misfits it’s probably best, for the mental health of both you and your dog, to seek some performance activity that doesn’t involve hunting or, in a lot of cases, retrieving, if you don’t want your dog to be a total couch potato. That brings us to the 15-20 percent that can be good performers in the field but for which conventional training methods are ineffective and can be downright detrimental to achieving success.
