My beddy x greyhound caught a pheasant on a country lane this time last year near a shoot. I recon the gamekeeper had a similar dog and the birds didn’t think it was a threat. The dog just ran up to the bird and pretty much snaffled it. Young farmed pheasants are ridiculously stupid creatures. Dog now stalks any bird which isn’t ideal.

Get them carrying and fetching feather young make it a game for them and chances are they'll take birds when there older.

Some dogs take feather some dont. My current lurcher won't touch feather unless on the lamp.

 

My old dog used to take feather for fun always bring pheasants, partridge and pigeon back.

Mine caught a brent goose on a estuary while out a walk once. Dont think she liked the feel of it in her mouth as she let go of it and held it down with her paws. She doesnt show much interest feather.

Whippets are so lightning quick and mentally alert,.they will catch pheasant for fun.

 

Facts are, they are a real fecking liability where game birds and suchlike are lying up in the brash....

 

I've had some tykes that needed being put on a leader,...before they got me hung out to dry...

Anything bigger than a pheasant is to big for a shivery whippet and will just fly off with the skinny fukcers still attached .......
