I think your right about a dog needing to have the brains to handle moving birds and putting that part together. I've worked Gus on liberated quail and I honestly think he is going to work a moving bird. Having said that, the intensity level of a dog working a wild bird is off the charts compared to a liberated bird so time will tell with him. This will be his first year on wild birds, as much as I wanted him on wild birds last year he just wasn't ready mentally for it. I'm pretty slow with bringing my dogs along and try very hard not to put them in situations where they can easily fail.
