Bird Dog...what in the hell does that mean?
 

I bought my girl a new Murano this past weekend and I took her to a dealership where my partner's father is the General Finance Manager. We test drove some cars and she liked the Murano so we got it. I just got a check in the mail for $100 and in the notes area it says, "Bird Dog" and that's it.

I have no fucking idea what it is for. I know that they are giving us some money back for transferring the tag but it's more like $400 for that. I'm stumped and can't get in touch with him. Crazy shit.

You refered a buying custie. Bird dogging is just a refural.

Never heard of it either. But damn nice of you to buy that for her.

A bird dog is a gun dog used to hunt or retrieve birds.

Other uses:

* A man who steals another man's girlfriend or date, as in The Everly Brothers's song "Bird Dog", possibly referring to slang terms for women as chicks and other bird-related terms.
* The O-1 Bird Dog, an airplane named for its use, similar to that of bird dogs, in scouting the area (reconnassiance).
* A referral fee, or "bird dog fee", is sometimes used in business. If Jake hires a company to perform some type of service and then recommends the company to Chester, who then hires the company and gives Jake as a reference, the company may give Jake a bird dog fee as a bonus for "retrieving" a new customer.
* In athletics, especially football, a drill in which a specific movement or play is walked through on a step-by-step basis.


Your pick. Personally, I'd go with the plane. Can't go wrong with a plane, y'know.

a retriever is a bird dog..so car places have coined this term when you go and bring them back a "bird"..in this case a buyer..you are the bird dog..

He thought you looked like a bird and her a dog. Or is it the other way around?

Relax dude, the pooch landed in a pile of fluffy kittens (hey, at least it wasn't killer squirrels).

The term "bird dog" as it is used in the auto dealership market refers to a referral fee, a bonus if you will, for referring someone who buys a car.

I used to bird dog for Birchwood GM here in Winnipeg for several years. Every time I'd bring someone down who bought a vehicle the sales rep would crack an envelope for me, and I'd win anywhere from $50 to $300 bucks.

Used to make a pretty good little side income from that. :D
