I have heard in the past that it is bad for you to hunt dove with your dog that it is actually bad for them. Not because of the heat due to early season weather but that hunting doves will actually ruin a dog. Is there any truth to this or would it be ok to take my dog out on a dove hunt this year? I have had the dog for 5yrs now and he has only hunted pheasants and does really good at pheasants just never took him on a dove hunt due to hearing that it is bad for them. Any advice that anyone could provide would be great.
