george123456789 Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 I've got a 2 year old Weimaraner and he's brilliant at retrieving a dummy to hand without any fuss. I introduced him to shot game (that I'd brought home) a while ago and he's fine at retrieving that to hand too. However, when I've taken him shooting and got him to retrieve freshly shot pigeons he always has a little chomp when he picks them up and then brings them back to me but is damaging the meat. I've since been throwing pigeons for him to fetch when out on walks which he retrieves without damaging - so it's just the freshly shot ones he bites! Anybody got any tips on how to stop him biting when he retrieves freshly shot birds? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 More cold game or except it, many HPRs are bred to kill in thier countries of origin. If its ok with cold game you cant realy use the usual fixes. Was it perhaps bitten or scatched on an early retrieve of warm game that was a little too warm?
