Barbets-Do they point?

Sometimes you have a camera ready, sometimes you don't but yes Hallie does point. The other day she pointed almost as well as any pointer but I was hanging out the washing!, and I do believe she was on point as she heard rats in the woodpile......however I was impressed, as it was most definately the best point from a Barbet I have seen.

Do barbets point?

 Remy, son of Betsy joined us yesterday on the shoot. He behaved perfectly, a credit to the flushing abilities of the barbet. As a breed in the UK, the dogs that we have do not flush like spaniels, they are bigger which makes a difference and they have inbuilt survival that tells them small holes in bramble are best left to other dogs! I was lucky yesterday as I witnessed Remy being over keen and leaving the cover during a drive, thinking the worse (commen when you own a barbet!) I watched and thankfully he flushed a rather large cock bird and returned at the same speed back into the cover. Free thinking barbets, they give you anxiety attacks, but time and time again they prove their worth.

Spot the barbet?  Remy in cover
