polski Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Next step is to wrap one dummy in a rabbit skin and attach a pair of wings to another, work with these till the dog is happy and confident with the retrieves. Then it's on to cold game, follow same procedure, and finally on to warm game. Take your time and don't rush. Rick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewis Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Avoid using pigeons as a first retreive, as the loose feathers in the mouth can put them off dead game. also keep it fun :yp: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
