Very nice setup! Can you throw the birds w/ the at your back??or is it the wind coming towards the dog? Thx for sharing.

Yellow arrow shows direction of the wind.

Guess I was trying to say which way can you run the dog into the wind or the wind at their backs?

You wouldnt want to run a mark or a blind into the wind.

This statement is very true but on occasion it happens. Winds change and there are times when marks & blinds are unintentionally into the wind. Marks typically cause no problems but the blinds can be a different issue. Dogs can go self employed when their nose tells them a bird is ahead. Some will quarter all the way to the bird.

This is training and Yea it happens sometimes, but why would you ever do it on purpose?

 

[rboudet]

Maybe. Maybe not.

There are indications for both.

On blustery days I like the chance to run blinds(especially on water) into the wind. IMHO it provides a good training opportunity for casting into wind.

Cross wind blinds yes all the time. into the wind no.
