Favorite bird for pups ?

Good strong flying bobwhites are good for very young pups. Make sure they are strong flyer's and absolutely don't let them catch any bird. After the pups can move pretty good and fast I use Pigeon's. I use them because they cant catch them. As soon as I start training any dog i use electronic launchers so I can control when and if the bird flies. I use check cords to keep the dog from chasing the bird too so that it doesn't get in the habit of chasing game birds out of the county when you start hunting the dog on wild birds. Pigeon's are cheap and always recall if you have homers.
