Farm birds impair hunting dogs ability?
I have 2 GSPs one is 3 and the other is 1.5 yeas old. I recently purchased some chickens ducks and geese as pets for my kids. A friend told me that having birds around them all of the time will impair their drive and ability to hunt due to the constant presence of bird scent. The dogs are never out while the birds graze thus no direct contact. Is this true?
