For once, instead of painting realistic dog portraits, here is a real
loose drawing. These comic strips illustrate a short story, a recent
shooting party in Britany while we were hunting woodcock.. my Holy
Graal .
My young labrador retriever hunts his own way, and the pointer try
to teach him his own point of view. My friend, Jacques, like pointing
dogs. I love my lab 's manner.. Allways the same story, is 'n t it
? |
|
 |
It was the end of the shooting season. My friend Jacques
and I decided to visit a small wood, where we never hunt. His dog is a pointer,
called "Jasper". Mine is a labrador retriever, called "Plume".
At that time, he was hardly 15 months old.
As soon as we were in the wood, my "Plume" followed a scent and
20 meters ahead, a woodcock flew away. When I shot her, she fell on the
pointer's nose. He seemed very upset. Jealous of the luck of my pup or contemptuous
for this way of hunting woodcocks without pointing. My pup picked up the
woodcock and retrieved it to me proudly. |
 |
|
15 minutes later, we were among thorns, when I heard
Jacques calling me:
"Cyrille ! Come quickly, my dog is pointing".
I ran to him with my young labrador, who had quicly understood that when
Jacques was calling me like that, it usually means that a woodcock was
nearby.
|
 |
| Arriving on the spot, "Jasper", the pointer
was like a marble statue and "Plume", my retriever was pointing
too, two meters behind him. |
 |
| But after a short while, my lab moved forward, turning
around the thornbush." Jasper" the pointer was very upset of this
lack of manners. |
 |
| When my labrador got the scent, he pointed shortly and
then rushed in the thornbush. |
 |
When he came out of the thorn, the woodcock was in his
mouth. Alive, of course! We had n't shot her.
"Plume", my retriever was very proud of him and "Jasper"
very revolted.
Of course, I was proud of my dog!
My friend "Jacques" told me... you should give me that woodcock:
"it's my dog's" |
 |
We learned a few hours later, that the owner of
this wood had been hunting there a couple of days earlier... and that he
missed a woodcock.
It explains why I found a shell in this woodcock's wing
The morale of this story is that you have better to go shooting with a good
dog, at least a retriever. |

In Flemish
comics, dear Cyrille it's WOEF WOEF (pronounce WOUF)....
|

| Germany |
In German
comics, it's "Wau wau" (pronounced like "vow" in English), or "Wuff!"
(like "voof")
and the children's name for a dog is a "Wauwau".
A cat says "Miau", a rooster "Kickeriki!".
And a sheep says "MŠh!", not "bah" like in English.
Incidentally, German has a word for the sound a cat makes when it's
angry (English people call it "hissing"): it's "fauchen"- and it sounds
just like what the cat does!
