Scent Work
As we know, Pointers are a very adept breed, and they love to be mentally stimulated. Scent work is becoming a popular hobby with a lot of enthusiasts.
The first place to look at this fascinating pastime is scentworkuk.com The purpose of Scentwork UK is to promote and develop scentwork both as a training activity and as a dog sport with regular trials nationally.  
​Scentwork UK trials are based on  detection-style nose work practiced daily by customs & excise dogs, bomb explosive dogs, search & rescue dogs and medical detection dogs.  ​Read more...


Linda Wilson has persued this fascinating hobby, and her young Pointer Ghillie has attained his level one!  Take a look at some of the videos that Linda kindly sent to us, and see what she has to say below..
Scentwork is another thing that Pointers are very good at, and they love it too. They start off with the scent of cloves, then gun oil, and then I think it is truffle oil. Ghillie took to it straight away. Scentwork U.K. run Trials and Ghillie passed his Level 1 Trial in September, even though he hadn’t been to a class since March, with a score of 99.3%. For this he had to 1) find the scent which is hidden in tables and chairs; 2) find it in boxes, bags, or cases; 3) find it hidden on a vehicle; 4) find it on miscellaneous objects outside. The scent is on a small piece of cloth. We will be working towards Level 2
