Introducing Your Pointing Dog Puppy to Birds
Jump to Comments
One of the most important things to get done early with a pointing dog is the introduction to birds. I prefer to use pigeons. They have a strong smell and are easy to see. They will also stand their ground a little, so the pup has a chance to get close.
I really don’t care what the pup does the first time he sees or smells his first bird. It’s nice if they are interested and do some flash pointing, but it isn’t really an indicator of the dogs potential.
What’s really fun is seeing your pup the second or third time he sees a pigeon and his fire is lit.
