Retrievers? AND "pointers"

[m4tt]

ok so u have a beagle flush the game, then u gotta run over nad get the birdy right? well could it be possible to get the beagle to flush the game, and then train a say Golden retriever or a labrador retreiver (and the bird) to retrieve the rabbit? like train the bird to allow the dog to get it? and such? thatd be interesting!

That is not going to work. The bird is not going to want to give up the kill to a dog. You may be able to transfer the bird from the kill with food that you have in your pouch, but, if the dog moves in on the kill, either the bird will fly away or it will attack the dog. In my case {eagle} I could end up with a dead dog. You can use a pointer to point the game and then you flush the game up, but, the pointer needs to hold back from the game.

Well what HYPOTHETICLY if it was possible to train the bird to give up its kill to the dog.. it mIGHT be possible with SERIOUS training.. and a VERY BRAVE dog. lol

There is no reason to want that to happen. Are you going to teach your bird to leave the kill on its own. Why even have the bird make the kill and just let the dog do it. That is not falconry.

what i mean is, get the dog to reclaim the kill if its in an unacsasable (cant spell) area that you cant get 2!!

but wouldnt it be interesting to watch? and dont get my wrong, i jus thought itd be interesting! im not suggesting trying it!

(i plan on doing it the ol fashion way!!!!)

To answer your question NO.

I think it would be even more interesting to watch sombody take a..... pillow and beat you with it...over and over and over...


Before anybody thinks up anything more painfull then that....Im going to just lock this thread.
