I shot a couple doves this past week, and low and behold, my dog ate it. Don't know why, but he did.

I bought a checkcord, so I'd have more control of my lab "fetching," but it seems more trouble than it's worth. He always gets tangled up in it. On the video it shows working fetch as a puppy where you can still kind of control the pup since they arent fast enough to get away. My dog doesnt really go after it hard with the checkcord on.
