Naw, I won't fret! In his early years he was fine with Doves. 2 weeks after moving in with us he was 15 weeks old and he went on his first real bird hunt for Doves. For his first couple years doves were no big deal just simply because of the excitement of the hunt for him. Now after 5 seasons under his belt with Duck/Goose, Pheasant, and Quail being the primary quarry in that order, holding a stinky little dove has become low on his list on "What I like to fetch for you" list though he still does it with great vigor!
Oh BTW, MilDot...had you ever seen his slipper modeling portfolio?
