Worst bird to start them on Catcher....too many feathers that fall out to easy.
not so sure,they retrieve them they will retrieve anything,nothing like a flapper to get the dog interested
....you just said the very same thing in your last post. A young dog shouldn't be started on pigeons because of the feathers falling out, wether its a lurcher or a gun dog. Snipe are great to start of with...... A winged bird isn't good either as it makes the dog want to run in, probably more a gun dog fault though rather than a lurchers...
Dident say you couldent start them.Did say it
