The pointing thing is interesting. Most of my dogs have been able to learn to follow my direction and look for what I am pointing at. I had one dear collie dog who just could not get it. He always just stared at the end of my finger.

My Corgi is the same way but she's a herding dog and her intelligence is different.

My Jack Russell mutt is the same. She knows something is up when I point but she relies on her own nose, ears and eyes to determine what. My Black lab before her and Sheltie Terrier before him would follow my finger. Could it be a female or a breed thing?
