My friend Jill was in the Valley this week. We took our dogs on a walk and swim and the conversation that developed was worthy of hitting the record button. Jill spends half of her year traveling to learn from some of the best trainers in the country. Then she applies it to her string of bird dogs while she guides hunts at otter Creek Farm and Distillery in Georgia. Just a great conversation that only dog people can enjoy!

It took some selective breeding about 60 years ago, but they got what they were looking for in Hungary. We just wrapped up a weekend in Wisconsin, learning some training methods that were new to me. But in the end, there are many roads that lead to success.

My daughter Jessi joins me to talk about our family, our dogs and her career path. As a Registered Dietitian, wife and mother. Jessi is taking those skills to the world of teaching and podcasting. Her show is called Kitchen Invitation. We talk about everything from Archery to Avocados and why she still loved some of my dogs that didn't love her cats.

More of my conversation with Max about the DD and why I may need one someday. But dont worry I have a new Cocker to get trained first!
