DocE, I went to the website link you provided and it gave me some very useful tips!!! My question is at what age is optimal for introduction?? My pup is coming up on 4 months and we're progressing nicely. Finding pheasnt wings obedience skills etc.. I was thinking about introducing him to a live pigeon like it said in the link you provided. I ordered some books and I'm waiting for them to arrive. Thanks in advance...
