Re: Found wild quail ... now what?
Don't use pigeons, if you have wild birds you would be crazy to use pigeons. I would trade one solid wild bird contact over 100 pigeon contacts!

Re: NFC Rawhide's Clown son
Who cares about pedigrees so much anyways!??!
I like to hear about what the current dog is doing, not some dog that died in the 80's that happens to be in the pedigree.
Though I am partial to the Slick line of breeding!
