What unusual has your dog pointed

[John Gryphon]

I have three fond memories and will start off with one of them.

I was heading off with my young dog at the time (the recent old dog) to a vantage point for a deer and he suddenly stopped and pointed. We were in a wide grassy gutter that I was using to sneak along unseen to get a bit closer to the dense cover and I immediately thought that he was reacting to a deer close by,out of sight over the brow. I scanned and scanned to no avail and cautiously moved ahead as slow as a wet week until I saw it! IT was a bee swarm that had settled for the night in a low wild briar bush after having no luck in finding a new home.

I was Mackrell fishing a few weeks back , and Mack kept wandering off to a small crevice within the rocks just on the water line and pointing . I went to investigate and found a young cormorant wrapped in fishing line in the crevice ,

I cut the poor bugger free with the leather man and away he went , although rather exhausted

And he's a bugger for hedgehogs lol

When the birds are sparse, mine will start pointing voles!

On a couple of occasions a friends dog has pointed foxes and been nose to nose, to the point the fox bit her dog on one ocassion.

The final amusing one was a friends dog pointing something once, we both assumed a bird, but the dog was sent in to flush and it was really hesitant, so she sent it in again and the dog kept sticking its head in then coming straight back out, in out, in out, when eventually my friend whacked the bushes with a stick- a cat was in there, seemingly scratching the dog every time it tried to flush it.

My old spaniel used to point and stare at the underneath of the stairs of our old house that was supposed to be haunted .

Apart from the obvious, my old German wire was obsessed with Hedgehogs scenting them at great distances, she would cross a field to point and then retrieve them, then came the task of removing the said retrieve plus removing the spines from her lips and tongue.

Another favourite of hers were cats……she would point and to my amazement retrieve them spitting snarling scratching, (the cats not the dog), she always did this with what was perceived as a smile on her face……never did any harm to them but l was buggered if l was going to ask her to give me her prize

She even taught my HWV about the art of finding hedgepigs.

I had a working terrier years ago that found a tortoise miles from anywhere. I had it for years till it finally did a "runner"

my dogs did that also but clamped a bit hard and the cats arrived lifeless.

My Beagle once came to me in the garden kicking up a right fuss, trying to get me to follow her. You'd think she was trying to lead me to a child stuck down a well......no, I followed her to the house with her looking back and barking every few paces....she led me to the kitchen, pointed and began to howl because I had left a pork pie on the side.

Skippy the bush kangaroo, ha.

Slight deviation to the op,saw a guns hat blow off in the wind on a shoot day. Sent his Labrador for the retrieve,dog picked it up then buried it in the drilling halfway back to him. Much hilarity and a priceless leg pull for future shoot days.

Adders and a sheep stuck in a peat hag.

Gypsy a pure GSP I had swung on a blow fly that landed on a duck turd in our ducks yard....I thought wtf is she doing when she did it...locked on like a pro 5 year old dog...but she was only just weaned and maybe 8 weeks old. That showed her proof of genetics.

My old lab pointed 2 bare bums of the female variety, enjoying each other’s company in a wheat field one lovely summers evening.

I politely mentioned the foot path was 100 yards in that direction and bid them a good evening

My old bitch was very interested in a bush on a walk in the lakes with more inspection it turned out to be a very embarrassed young lady having an act of nature. If u have to go u have to go it’s the heaviest thing in the world and no one can hold on to it lol.

I reported here a few years ago where my old dog (dec) was pointing at 'something" I could not see wtf it was yet is was close. Then I saw it cammed in among the dry leaves..... a brown snake only a couple of yards away,to where i was headed..good on him.

Not pointing, but my mates lab once retrieved a massive black dildo out of a hedge bottom
