I no longer quail hunt and have no bird dogs for that reason. I have a lab mix that retrieves doves and ducks. I honestly believe this is one of the best books on the market for training a dog. You might want to look into it.

Second that . It is a great book for any dog owner, not just a hunter. I used it for all my Shorthairs.
