WRT raw diet, if you have a dog you want to train for bird hunting be sure to not feed them any raw chicken/duck/etc. Might seem like a no brainer but it happens and when it does it's hard to break the dog from viewing any shot birds as food.

There's a British vet on youtube that says the exact opposite, and she has only retrieve trained bird dogs. I'll see if I can find it. But she states that they know the difference between what's fed to them and what they are asked to retrieve.
