What kind of bird is good to start your lab puppy with? Are chukars a good choice?
Frozen(thaw first lol) ducks(start with small birds, teal etc) or freshly killed pigeons for dead birds retrieves. Pigeons for the first planted bird work. Chukker, are ok but I find pen raised birds slow to flush, I caution against Pheasants until the pup has a good handle on live birds. A spurring or wing beating from a rooster can sour your pup on birds. Good luck, enjoy the puppy time it's the best and passes all to quickly
