Hi guys anyone know where to get some pigeons for training dogs. I just noticed RedFrog has posted about some In lacombe but unfortunately it's further than I'd like to go but who knows maybe I might take him up on it if I can't find any. I'm south of Calgary so anywhere around the city or outlying areas. Thanks in advance.
What I have done in the past was to find some old barns with pigeons on them by driving around then get permission. I have never been turned down yet to catch some. Wait until dark then go in with a spotlight and a net.
It's actually pretty fun. Also if you catch them close enough to your training grounds they often fly back to be caught again.
We've bought some from the Hutterites near Cayley for our dog club. They catch them and you pay 55.00 per.
