Send us a text#37 The journey from novice to expert in the world of upland hunting is paved with lessons often learned the hard way. In this captivating conversation, Kenneth Witt welcomes Greg Blair, a senior specialist with Purina's Sporting Dog Group, who brings three decades of pointing dog wisdom to Gundog Nation.Greg's passion for bird dogs began in the 1990s, evolving from casual hunting over a springer spaniel to campaigning a Hall of Fame English Pointer. With refreshing honesty, he describes himself as "an amateur who knows enough to be dangerous," yet his insights reveal a deep understanding of what makes pointing dogs tick. When Greg speaks about following a bell-collared dog through Wisconsin's northern forests, you can almost hear the cadence of the bell and feel the anticipation when it suddenly goes silent - signaling a dog frozen on point.The conversation flows naturally through essential topics for anyone interested in pointing breeds. Greg's approach to gun breaking dogs emphasizes the importance of bird exposure before introducing gunfire, stating with conviction that "most gun-shyness is man-made." His explanation of how to properly develop a steady pointing dog offers practical wisdom that could save handlers years of frustration. The discussion about ruffed grouse hunting in the popple stands of Wisconsin paints a vivid picture of one of North America's most challenging and rewarding upland pursuits.Perhaps most valuable is Greg's advice for newcomers: find a mentor, join a club like NAVHDA, and prepare for a "roller coaster" of training highs and lows. His perspective on the false dichotomy between field trial dogs and hunting dogs challenges conventional wisdom, asserting that well-bred, properly trained dogs can excel in both venues. Whether you're considering your first pointing dog or looking to refine your training approach with your current companion, this episode offers genuine, field-tested knowledge that will enhance your understanding of these remarkable sporting dogs.Join our community at patreon.com/gundognation for monthly open forums where you can ask questions and learn from fellow enthusiasts who share your passion for preserving our gundog heritage.Support the showGundog Nation is Proudly Sponsored by: Purina Pro Plan Cornerstone Gundog Academy Retriever Training Supply Migra Ammunitions Waterstone Labradors PhoLicious Foods

Send us a text#36 Wade Skeen takes us deep into the changing landscape of American waterfowl hunting, revealing how agricultural practices have dramatically shifted migration patterns away from traditional southern flyways. The owner of Skeen Gundogs and Outfitters in south central Kansas explains why the Midwest has become a duck hunting paradise: drought-resistant seed varieties pushing corn production northward, no-till farming leaving billions of bushels of waste grain in fields, and significantly less hunting pressure than traditional destinations like Arkansas and Louisiana.Drawing from his journey from Mississippi through military service to establishing his Kansas outfitting business, Wade shares how his dog training philosophy evolved from working with high-drive American Labs to the more methodical British retrievers. His personal transformation as a trainer culminates in wisdom that resonates for handlers at any level: "Embrace the process. Don't worry about outcomes. Judge each day individually, and when the process is complete, your dog will exceed expectations."The conversation explores the unique aspects of Kansas hunting seasons, with Wade focusing his guiding efforts on December and January when waterfowl patterns are most reliable. Unlike many outfitters, he encourages clients to bring their own retrievers, understanding the special bond between hunters and their dogs while ensuring safety and hunt quality remain priorities. Whether targeting mallards on the river or setting up for massive feeds of lesser Canada geese in dry fields, his approach emphasizes versatility and adaptation to conditions.Ready to experience the Kansas waterfowl advantage? Wade still has limited dates available for the upcoming season. Listen now to understand why serious duck hunters are looking westward and how embracing the training process will transform your gundog experience.Support the showGundog Nation is Proudly Sponsored by: Purina Pro Plan Cornerstone Gundog Academy Retriever Training Supply Migra Ammunitions Waterstone Labradors PhoLicious Foods

Ben Skinner, the seventh-generation leader of Skinner's Dog Food, takes us on a fascinating journey from his family's 1688 windmill to their current position as a beloved dog food manufacturer in the UK.The remarkable story unfolds as Ben shares how his grandfather Stanley operated a traditional grain milling business that was facing bankruptcy when his father Roger, at just 15 years old, was pulled from school to join the struggling company. The pivotal moment came when a customer requested a ton of dog food, leading Roger to create a formula that dogs loved and offered better profit margins than their traditional products. From this humble beginning – literally driving around with bags of dog food in his car – Roger built a reputation for quality that still defines Skinner's today. Their unwavering commitment to formulation over price and direct relationships with customers has earned them devoted followers throughout the gundog community.Beyond manufacturing dog food, Skinner's has become a cornerstone of the gundog world through their support of competitions like the International Gundog League Field Trial and their own Skinner's World Cup. This prestigious international working test attracts teams from across Europe, most recently held on the Windsor Crown Estate with permission from King Charles III. Ben shares delightful stories of royal connections, including his father accidentally placing his beer in Queen Elizabeth II's spot at lunch, highlighting the tight-knit nature of the UK gundog community.What truly distinguishes this conversation is Ben's humility and genuine passion for both the family business and the working dog community. Despite regular buyout offers, Skinner's remains fiercely independent because, as Ben explains, "to us it's more than a business, it's a way of life." His vision for preserving gundog heritage while introducing younger generations to the sport resonates powerfully with our mission at Gundog Nation.Ready to learn more about the fascinating intersection of history, quality nutrition, and gundog tradition?

Send us a text#34 The journey to developing an extraordinary hunting retriever demands more than just basic obedience—it requires a training philosophy built on understanding, patience, and fair expectations. In this captivating conversation with Barton Ramsey of Southern Oak Kennels, we explore the nuanced approach that has established him as one of America's premier British Labrador breeders and trainers.Barton takes us deep into his training methodology, emphasizing the critical difference between British and American training philosophies while revealing how he's crafted a hybrid approach tailored to American hunting conditions. His perspective challenges conventional wisdom: "That dog didn't wake up today and decide to ruin your day," he shares, highlighting how most training failures stem from inadequate teaching rather than willful disobedience.What truly sets this episode apart is Barton's masterclass on group steadiness training—his signature technique for developing dogs that remain calm and controlled while others work. Unlike traditional methods where dogs are worked individually and kenneled immediately after, Barton's approach teaches retrievers to self-regulate their excitement, a skill that proves invaluable in real hunting scenarios, particularly in his beloved flooded timber settings.The conversation weaves through practical considerations like seasonal nutrition adjustments, health management for working dogs, and the complementary relationship between professional training programs and DIY methods like Cornerstone Gundog Academy. Barton's insights into reading canine behavior reveal the profound communication happening between handler and dog that most owners miss entirely.Whether you're a seasoned handler or contemplating your first retriever, you'll leave this episode with transformative insights about the relationship-centered approach that produces not just skilled hunting companions, but dogs with the steadiness, versatility, and joy that make them exceptional partners in the field and at home.

Luke Cour reveals the mindset and methods behind his remarkable success as we explore his journey from rodeo competitor to SRS Crown Champion.Growing up as the son of a successful pointer trainer, Luke developed an appreciation for working dogs from an early age. His natural intensity and competitive spirit found an outlet first in rodeo, then in retriever training after purchasing his first Lab to help recover lost doves on hunting trips. Eight and a half years spent learning under renowned trainer Rody Best provided the foundation for what would become his own training philosophy.Luke offers fascinating insights into what he looks for in promising puppies—with work ethic topping his list. "If they don't have work ethic, it probably automatically means they're not going to be a field champion," he explains. His assessment of a dog's water attitude provides a window into how he identifies potential, while his breeding philosophy emphasizes the importance of quality females over fashionable sires.What separates this conversation from typical training discussions is Luke's refreshing humility despite his accomplishments. Having won the SRS Crown Championship at just 25 and secured SRS Team of the Year honors for three consecutive years, he still approaches training with a learner's mindset. "Don't be afraid to get educated," he advises aspiring trainers, revealing the character that underlies his success.Whether you're interested in field trials, hunt tests, or simply developing a better hunting companion, Luke's practical wisdom applies across the spectrum of retriever training.

In this illuminating conversation with Dr. Joe Wurster, known throughout the bird dog community as "the bird dog vet," we dive into the specialized world of hunting dog medicine that many urban veterinarians rarely encounter.Dr. Wurster reveals why he became a veterinarian after a career change from political science – his passion for bird dogs and the hunting community drove him to medicine. This unique perspective allows him to understand both the medical needs of working dogs and the practical realities hunters face in the field. His expertise has earned him the trust of renowned trainers like Ronnie and Susanna Smith, who consider him their go-to veterinarian for their valuable dogs.The conversation takes a sobering turn as Dr. Wurster discusses pyothorax, a life-threatening condition caused by grass awns that he considers more dangerous than rattlesnake bites. "These dogs go from off their food to dead in a matter of days," he warns, emphasizing the importance of early recognition. His practical advice extends to creating relationships with veterinarians near your hunting destinations, carrying essential medications like metronidazole and cerenia for common travel-related GI issues, and assembling an effective field first aid kit.Beyond emergency care, Dr. Wurster offers wisdom on nutrition, debunking marketing trends like grain-free diets while advocating for scientifically-researched foods.

Hannah, who started in 2021 with a turkey hunt that left her "100% addicted," has since restructured her entire life around hunting opportunities – leaving her corporate HR career for the flexibility of restaurant work that allows her to chase waterfowl across the country at a moment's notice. Abbie balances a full-time career at Toyota with her growing passion for training and hunting with her chocolate Labrador retrievers, proudly earning hunt test titles despite starting as a complete novice.The conversation explores the unique challenges women face entering the traditionally male-dominated hunting world, the incredible community they've found through social media groups like "Women of Waterfowl," and how hunting with dogs has transformed their perspective on the sport. Both women spoke candidly about their experiences hunting everything from whitetail deer to sandhill cranes, their triumphs and failures in the field, and the special bond that develops when working alongside a well-trained retriever.Perhaps most compelling is how these women view hunting as more than recreation – it's become their lifestyle and potentially their livelihood. Hannah shares her entrepreneurial plans for waterfowl taxidermy and a fishing guide service, while both discuss how watching their dogs work sometimes brings more satisfaction than the harvest itself. Their enthusiasm for mentoring other women looking to enter the sport offers hope for a more inclusive hunting community.Whether you're an experienced hunter or someone curious about getting started, their fresh perspective and genuine passion might just inspire you to grab a shotgun, train a retriever, and discover the rewards of hunting for yourself.

Send us a text#028 What separates truly elite dog trainers from the rest? Clark Kennington pulls back the curtain on 20 years of success in the competitive retriever world, revealing that psychological understanding might matter more than traditional pressure-based methods.As a two-time SRS Crown Champion with over 100 Grand passes to his credit, Kennington explains how the retriever game has evolved dramatically over two decades. Today's better-bred, more intelligent dogs respond to fundamentally different training approaches than their predecessors. "They don't require the use of pressure that they did 20 years ago," he explains, highlighting how the best trainers steadily adapt their methods to match this evolution.Kennington's most powerful insights revolve around building genuine connections with each dog. Unlike trainers who maintain strict emotional boundaries, he becomes each dog's "biggest cheerleader." This relationship-based approach extends to competition situations, where his pre-run ritual might surprise many handlers: "If I'm in the holding blind about to go run a dog, it's not uncommon for me to have that dog laid over on its back and me rubbing its belly." This counterintuitive approach creates relaxed, confident dogs that perform at their peak.Drawing from his experience in both retriever work and protection dog training, Kennington articulates a philosophy that emphasizes psychological understanding over dominance: "I want the dog to do the right thing because it wants to do the right thing, more so than I want it to do the right thing because it fears doing the wrong thing." This perspective, coupled with his insights on maintaining consistent standards appropriate to each dog's developmental stage, offers a blueprint for handlers seeking to elevate their training approach.Whether you're competing at elite levels or simply want to improve your hunting companion's performance, Kennington's balanced methods provide a roadmap for building better relationships and achieving better results with your retriever.

Send us a textWhat happens when a Geek Squad technician with an obsessive personality meets a college-educated bird hunter? For Ethan and Kat of Standing Stone Kennels, this unlikely combination sparked a remarkable journey from amateur dog owners to renowned German Shorthair Pointer breeders and trainers.Their story begins with pure passion. After acquiring their first GSP in 2009, Ethan's meticulous nature took over—watching videos, reading books, working with dogs at every opportunity, even staying unpaid hours at a training facility just to absorb more knowledge. What started as curiosity evolved into opportunity when they moved to Kansas, intending for Ethan to manage grocery stores while training dogs as a hobby. Within months, demand for their training skills transformed their side gig into a thriving full-time business.What truly sets Standing Stone Kennels apart is their crystal-clear vision: producing "family-oriented versatile hunting companions." Unlike traditional approaches where hunting dogs might be viewed primarily as tools kept in outdoor kennels, Standing Stone prioritizes dogs that excel in both field performance and home life. This philosophy shapes everything from their breeding selections to training methods, creating GSPs that can seamlessly transition from pointing birds to relaxing with family.The conversation dives deep into the technical aspects of versatile gun dog training, exploring the significant differences between American-bred GSPs and German imports (DKs), socialization practices that create mentally stable dogs, and the critical balance needed between consistency and variety in training.

Send us a textEver wondered what separates championship gun dogs from the rest? Kenneth Witt sits down with Pieter Vivijs and Laura Lazzaretto, Belgian retriever experts with decades of experience breeding, training, and judging at the highest levels of European competition, including the prestigious International Gundog League (IGL).This fascinating conversation reveals striking differences between European and American approaches to training and competitions. Laura shares her 25-year journey breeding golden retrievers, transitioning from show lines to working dogs that compete at elite levels. The couple's expertise is evident as they explain how European field trials differ from American events, with continental competitions divided between working tests (using dummies) and field trials (during actual shooting days with real game).What truly sets this episode apart is their refreshingly straightforward training philosophy. While many trainers rely on treats and clickers, Pieter and Laura have achieved international championships using only verbal praise: "Good boy, good girl, that's it." They argue that treats often become bribes rather than rewards, emphasizing that proper timing and connection with your dog matter infinitely more than training gadgets.Perhaps the most valuable insight comes when discussing what they look for in puppies. Laura identifies "ability to recover" as her top priority – a dog's willingness to try again after making mistakes rather than shutting down. This quality, combined with trainability and connection to the handler, creates the foundation for both championship competitors and excellent family hunting companions.Whether you're a seasoned trainer or just starting with your first retriever, this transatlantic perspective offers valuable lessons applicable to any training program. The episode concludes with a thoughtful comparison between golden retrievers and Labradors, emphasizing their belief that "a good dog never has the wrong breed or color."

Having trained thousands of dogs to avoid dangerous encounters with venomous reptiles, Wayne shares the methodology that has potentially saved countless canine lives throughout Texas and beyond.The conversation dives deep into the science and psychology behind effective snake avoidance training. Wayne meticulously explains how he uses live Western Diamondback rattlesnakes (safely defanged and secured) to create powerful learning experiences for dogs. Rather than relying on commands, this unique training approach creates direct associations between the snake's presence and a negative stimulus, teaching dogs to recognize and avoid danger through their natural senses of sight, smell, and hearing.What makes this episode particularly valuable is Wayne's candid discussion of emergency protocols. He outlines a comprehensive strategy for dealing with potential snake bites - from the importance of rattlesnake vaccines to maintaining calm during emergencies, and researching veterinary facilities before traveling to snake-prone hunting areas. His first-hand experience with a snake bite lends authenticity to his advice, offering listeners rare insights into proper response techniques.Beyond the technical aspects, Wayne shares heartwarming stories of dogs whose lives were saved by his training methods. From retrievers refusing to pick up bumpers near hidden rattlesnakes to pets alerting their owners to dangerous serpents in yards and on trails, these real-world examples demonstrate the practical value of proper snake avoidance training.Whether you're a dedicated hunter working dogs in snake country or simply a concerned pet owner living in an area where venomous snakes are present, this episode provides essential knowledge that could potentially save your dog's life.

Send us a textBen Randall, double British National Field Trial Champion and creator of the revolutionary BG method, challenges traditional training approaches in this eye-opening conversation. Drawing from decades of experience training hundreds of dogs and teaching thousands of handlers worldwide, Randall reveals how psychology-driven training produces exceptional results without harsh corrections.At the heart of Randall's approach is a profound shift in perspective—training the human first, then the dog. "Many people talk about dog psychology and training with dog psychology. Well, I don't really buy into that," he explains. "The people training the dog are humans. If a trainer can understand human psychology first, how to implement those training methods to the client, that's a far better way of doing it."Randall's innovative mealtime training method transforms how puppies learn core commands. By using feeding opportunities to teach directional work, puppies master complex handling skills months before traditional training would begin. This foundation creates young dogs capable of performing like seasoned veterans, all while building an unbreakable handler-dog bond.Perhaps most controversial is Randall's stance against unlimited freedom for young dogs. "If I give a puppy freedom twice daily, that's 60 sessions a month I've taught that dog to find enjoyment without me," he notes, explaining how this creates the recall and steadiness problems handlers later struggle to fix. Instead, structured engagement with clear boundaries produces dogs that naturally want to remain connected.Whether you're training your first gun dog or have handled dozens, Randall's methods challenge conventional wisdom while producing undeniable results.

Send us a textA deadly parasite spread by kissing bugs is silently attacking hunting dogs across America, and most owners have no idea their dogs are at risk until it's too late. In this eye-opening conversation, Kenneth Witt welcomes Rachel Busselman, a fourth-year veterinary student who earned her PhD researching Chagas disease at Texas A&M University.Rachel reveals alarming statistics from her years studying hunting kennels across Texas, where she discovered over 25% of previously healthy dogs became infected within a single year. The parasite, Trypanosoma cruzi, primarily attacks the heart and can cause sudden death without warning signs or symptoms. Most troubling is that infected dogs often appear completely healthy until they suffer cardiac failure."We took our dog out to run, ran great, brought him back, was grabbing the food, came back to find he had had a heart attack," Rachel shares as one kennel owner's heartbreaking experience. Unlike common parasitic infections, Chagas disease doesn't respond to standard medications, and detection requires specialized blood tests that aren't part of routine veterinary examinations.The geographic reach of this disease extends throughout the southern United States, with highest concentrations in Texas and Louisiana, though cases have been documented as far north as Nebraska. Approximately 50% of the kissing bugs that transmit the disease carry the parasite, creating a significant threat for dogs spending time outdoors.For dog owners, Rachel provides crucial prevention advice, including using insecticides around kennels, changing outdoor lighting to red wavelengths that don't attract the bugs, and turning off unnecessary lights at night. While researchers work toward better treatments, awareness remains the best defense. If you find kissing bugs on your property, collect them safely and submit them for testing through Texas A&M's community science program at kissingbug.tamu.edu.Don't wait until your hunting companion becomes another statistic.
