Too bad, but yeah, that's about what my dogs would do. Pick something up and bring it to me. I've seen my Golden Retriever catch a mouse, it ran out of her mouth, then my Pointer scooped it up and it ran right out of his mouth. The expressions on their faces were hilarious, like "what the...

I may get blasted for this (no pun intended), but I don't see anything wrong with shooting the pigeons. I mean, that's kind of the end goal here; for the birds being hunted anyway. I would have a problem with people not taking care of or letting their dogs hurt the pigeons. I'm not a...

I might end up doing that. I just didn’t want to wait.

I’m m sure there are people out there who hunt that don’t treat their training birds right, but there are those people in any sport. I wish we wouldn’t all get painted with the same brush. I love birds. I have waterfowl and parrots and have other birds since I was a kid. Regardless of what I’m...

I’ve been looking on Craigslist, but haven’t found any young ones. Unless I’m misunderstanding how young they need to be. I didn’t have to do this with my Pointer. He pretty much instinctively does what he should. I think people picture dogs mauling birds. Obviously, that’s not what hunting...

Actually, I think the ones I found aren't homers. Bummer. I'll have to keep looking. The pigeon racing clubs around here will not help at all if you're using the birds for dog training, so I'm having a hard time finding any.

Most of the training I'll be doing at home, but some might be a little farther away. No, birds aren't harmed during training. They're planted and then you use them to teach the dogs to hold steady after they're flushed (fly away). If you were really hunting, the birds would be shot and...

Homers. I'm using them to train my dogs, so they'll fly. I don't have any yet, but found some squeakers fairly close to me.

These are my options. I have two 10'x10' dog kennels that aren't being used right now. They're covered. I used to have waterfowl in them (I move them around the grass, so they always have fresh grass and I don't have to clean pens). I also have about 1/3 of an acre fenced in 2"x4" horse...

Thanks. That's actually what I was wondering - whether or not I could use my extra 10'x10' dog kennels for anything.

How small of a hole can pigeons fit through (i.e. what type of wire do I need to use on a pigeon loft)?
