Thanks for the help everyone . If you start the dog retrieving dead birds that'll give it the idea. Most lurchers start out by catching the type of game birds that try to run through cover before flying. (Newly released pheasants, wet partridges after heavy rain, moorhens in reedbeds etc.) 2 Quote Link to post

beast 1,884 Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 some dogs take to feather naturally, some never quite get it. get them carrying dead birds as a pup, if you can get out shooting then use the dog for retrieving especially any runners, take them to the local shoot picking up, anything to encourage them that birds are fair game. a lot of dogs dont like carrying pigeons and crows, but should carry pheasant, duck etc a real good bird dog will learn when it is worth having a go for a certain bird and when not to bother, one of my bitches will just glance at a pheasant out on a field, but if she scents one in cover will make every effort to peg it. just give the dog every encouragement and every opportunity, it may decide to catch birds or it may not Quote Link to post
