In play I have seen dogs on their bellies like a predator playing hide n seek in the grass as the others approach, so I guess Squatter needs to be described in some detail of form. I remember reading some old lititure from around the 1800s, that the pointer was bred with a setter and that produces a squatter, and I also read that when netting was the flavor of the time that dogs crouched as to avoid the net when cast over the birds they pointedâ€¦but to say any of the above is Squatting , beats me. So I dread this as the results will most definitely be disrupting but its time to jerk out the old google search and type in the term Pointing dogs Squater, I am sure I can predict the images that will produces.
