ONLINE RESOURCES

We have been fortunate to be deeply involved in the bird dog world for multiple decades. We feel very honored that members of our family have been featured in the media and have begun to compile a library of some links to various media below to keep track of some of what is published. We hope you enjoy the bird dog training philosophies, as well as the stories that come alive via these links!
