Boone is quite loved and photogenic to boot! He made Gun Dog Supply's page. A pup from my Rose x Big Easy Litter not quite a year ago!

Meet Boone! His owner (Brandon G) captured this awesome photo after hunting with him all day. We hear Boone doesn't stop in the field and goes and goes and goes again! Good thing he's got a comfy place to sleep when he gets home 💤

This piece of Chief Upland hunting gear will not disappoint whoever wins it at auction /raffle at the Northern Polk Pheasants Forever Banquet to be held June 18. This was my donation to a great cause. If you've never attended a Pheasants Forever banquet, or it's just been a few years since you did, find your local chapter's events and get involved. You'll have a great time while supporting a great cause -- a cause that supports what you love to do! http://www.northernpolkpf.org/banquets/

Dreaming of blaze orange and fall roosters? To be ready, start your dog's training/conditioning program now. Resolve those obedience issues you noticed last year or train that new pup you picked up this spring. Just getting out in September when the fall buzz starts means you're late to the party! If you're not sure where to start, schedule some time with me in the field today. It's going to be a great hunting season!

If you've got questions about dog training, I've got some answers. There's not much I haven't dealt with over the last 30 years of professional training! "When do I start a new pup?" "How do I introduce birds or gunfire?" "What's the best way to . . . ." If you find yourself searching for what to do next, then contact me and I'll get you going in the right direction. I offer one-on-one training sessions for bird dogs and their owners to achieve your goals. I am kicking off field training April 1. Looking forward to a great spring/summer. Jon Zunkel.

Having a cold, wet dog during a hunting trip can be avoidable if you take care to prep your truck or dog trailer for proper dog transport. I use clean prairie hay as demonstrated in this video to create warmth and absorb moisture. Small details make a huge impact on your dog's overall ability to perform during tough conditions.
