lets just put one thing right,my dog is stock broken,walks with hens all day,and in the summer with chicks also,she has the geese grabbing her tail,never touches them,and she never touches the pheasants in my pens,but if we are out on the hunt she knows different,if we are on other land its fair game,she also can be called of game.....the question was does your dog take feather,yes,she dont have to be around pheasant pens or rampaging through woods to take feather.
