Liza's firs pigeons

8 pm
Mike's farm
25 C
no wind
dry grass

I got lucky and was given some homers under condition they will not be hurt.

I released 3-4 birds in front of Liza just to get her excited and let her chase them.
She's definitely ready, she really wants the birds. She gave chase to the edge of the field - 100-150 m.

After that I gave her 2-3 birds rocked to sleep in the grass. She found them and tried to grab them, so I had to hold her with a checkcord and kick the birds up with my foot. After that I let her chase.
I don't have my launchers anymore, so I'll have to either use cages with a rope or borrow launchers from someone. She didn't point.

I gave one bird each to Luna and Ivy. Ivy pointed nicely, Luna tried to take the bird out after brief point. They know it's a game and don't like to play it. They just want to grab the pigeons.

In the end I let go one more bird and when all 3 dogs were chasing it and were nearly 100 y away I fired my blank gun, Liza didn't blink, Luna started looking for the dead bird :)
