    In our garden today there was a injured pigeon which took off and subsequently crashed into a tree and fell to the ground, before anyone could do anything Charlie ran over picked it up ran to the end of the garden and dropped it without being told, is this a good or bad thing? ??? He also flushed the Pheasants which haven't come back :) Thanks x

    Well done Charlie for dropping the pigeon rather than taking it into the house :). Not sure if flushing the pheasants is good (but for you, it makes if easier letting Charlie and Hattie in the garden) :)

    It sounds like his Retriever Instincts came to the fore. It could only have been better, if he had presented the bird to you and put it straight in your hand ;) .

    Sounds good to me ;D

    Did he try and chase the pheasants once he'd flushed them?

    Could have been worse, he could have run off with it, refused to give or drop and eaten it! Well done Charlie, he has the beginnings of a retrieve with warm game :)
