You might try to get some young unflown homing pigeons for that loft. I converted my quail pen that style and put an aviary on it. Works great now for homers.

Re: I don't NEED another dog!

How could you possibly just take 1 out of this litter? 7 is such an ugly number. 8 is a good even number. Get 2. Have 8 and make your trainer a very happy lady.

Re: Training a pointer to hunt difficult terrain

You need to get he dog to understand it is supposed to stand still when on birds. You will flush the bird for him. Having to whoa the dog to get it to stand is not ideal. Especially not ideal when you are in a situation that you cant see the dog. I personally think that from what I read, that you ne...
