good luck am sure you'll have a great time, be careful though my friend shot his own dog by accident doing rabbits, now they lamp and he goes back after everything is put away to pick up.

Pigeons can be shot, I love pigeon  :luv:

yeah, but pigeon shooting is not very dog friendly unless your dog is really well trained and will sit still for hours, and certainly not a group sport - fomr someone who spent 4 hours sitting in a hollowed out tree a few weeks ago

My Labs do the job nicely, not for the innexperienced cocker like sweepie at the mo  ;)

If they shot their dog they should not have a gun in their hand  :o

omg that has freaked me out. luckily the ladies i'm going to be with have never had an accident. 4 have done it many times and the other has only recently started going.
i am starting to half look forward to it.

sadly accidents do happen they are an experienced and careful shot but the dogs inexperience and over excitement got the better of it and it ran in just as my friend took the shot, no real harm done but their training went back months.  Cockers do have a habit of bouncing...

Ditto here, the only one of mine who would be ok to take out shooting anything at the moment is Tilly. Definitely too much too soon for Alfie or Rodaidh.

Anyway I hope you enjoy it Lyn and don't have to finish off any bunnies by hand  ;) :005:

Its one of the things you have to deal with if you are out at a shoot when working a dog. If your dog retrieves anything that is injured you have to dispatch it  ;)

Dobbie will pigeon shoot with Mr CS but with me he is far too fidgeting and annoying unless he can sit on my knee, which isnt very practical :005:
