HPRs

( Hunt Point Retrieve)

  • Hunting

    HPRs love to get their nose down and if they find something interesting, then even better. The constant looking for something creates a ‘buzz’ similar to the chasing issue and as with chasing, this can lead to not listening to recall.

  • Stealing

    Being a retrieving breed, HPRs love having something in their mouths. This often means they will steal things to carry around and can lead to an unwanted game of chase to get what they have stolen back.

  • Recall

    Whether they are interested in people or dogs near by them, birds, or just a smell that catches their attention, HPRs are more interested in the ‘whats’ going on’ in the environment than paying attention to you. They will ignore recall unless you are lucky enough for there to be nothing of interest going on around them.
