Only things I would say about retrieveing doves is the dog would probably appreciate having sufficient water handy to help rinse the feathers out a bit. Also, in AZ desert the dove season opens while rattlesnakes are still very active so a recent snake break refresher for the dog is sort of important. I encounter more snakes in the dove season than the rest of the year.

Pigeons my dog will point but not retrieve at all. Just won't touch those sky rats.
