I finally sit down with a DD owner, breeder and club member.

And I did not have to brush up on my German. Max and his wife live and love the breed and the club that comes with it!  VDD-GNA is a group that sticks to the traditions that gave us many of the breeds that we hunt with and brag about today.

Gunner Kennels engineer, Colton, found a job that justifies having a kennel full of bird dogs. One of the many ( dog crazy) employees that makeup the staff of the worlds safest dog crate.

I stopped in Nashville to talk with Addison Edmonds. We talk about his new pup and his first pup. "Gunner" was Addisons college project. He was also why Gunner Kennels was created. We talk about dogs, children, and how that all keeps us grounded in the lifestyle that we love!

What happens when you meet  a retired Marine Corp General? You talk bird dogs, and hunting of course. I had the pleasure of spending a morning in the quail fields with Walt Boomer. Along with meeting his beloved GSPs later in the evening. A day I will remember for a long time.
