Lone Duck’s Gun Dog Chronicles Podcast

Today we had the pleasure of chatting with our buddy, Brandon Sweesy, from Northern Air Retrievers. Brandon has been on our show before and trains dogs with the best of 'em.

Here's a few highlights from the show:

We catch up with Brandon and hear about his winter trip

We dig pretty deep into new rules for AKC hunt tests and they're trying to address a problem-- which is great, but this is not the solution.

We're tired of the "pros vs amateurs" conflict because we should all be on the same team.

Getting dogs to the Master Nationals is truly special. Getting dogs to pass is an emotional roller coaster.
