    Hi all,

    Just looking for your opinions please being the people in the know when it comes to gun dogs. below is my post from the pets section and a link to the thread to view the replys.

    Hi all, we just recently bought a labredor pup, aged 13 weeks. Just tonight I went in the garden to find him chewing on a pigeon...., earlier I found a dead starling on the patio, which I presumed just flew into the window. Should I be worried about this, giving the bird in question is classed as a flying rat, will it do him any harm...... Any thought .???

    A canine immune system is a dozen times more suited to eating wild then our own..

    Calling pigeons flying rats is questionable.. A pigeon fed on corn/maize all its life out in the country.. Tasty wee yoke imo..

    The ones in the city fed on durex,mcdonalds and tayto packets wouldnt be my cup but a dog would be well able..


    Flying rats due to what they eat.. Funny would ya call people from a city living on mcdonalds and durex walking rats :p:p

    i have a cat that kills everything that enters the garden and then when i let the lab and spaniel out , they come with these birds to me , this is a regular enough thing , ive started using it as training , getting them to deliver right .

    wouldn be to worried , but it not your pup killing these birds .
