I have a young dog that retrieved doves perfect, now that it's duck season, she wants to carry them buy the wing. Any advice would be nice!

When he brings them to hand, say, "Good boy," and pat him on the head.

By the way, as he gets more experienced, he'll carry them by the body.

How young is young? If under 8-10 months, this may be a mouth size challenge. My youngster only recently was able to carry properly at 10 months or so. If you've FF'd the dog and she IS big enough to hold the birds, may want to revisit FF with ducks. Otherwise, time is likely to cure this.

On the bright side, any chomping issues will NOT render the bird "unfit for the table"!
