When my oldest son, Hunter, was 14 he harvested his first banded Canada goose. We later learned the goose was banded the previous year, and coincidentally, on Hunter's birthday! My friend's Lab made a beautiful retrieve, and brought the bird to hand. The bird was still alive so my friend issued a quick twist Continue reading?

When I trained my first Lab, I was not aware that Safety Lining Poles existed. I wished I did. I did not know how to send my young dog on relatively long blind retrieves, and instead, used my youngest son, Connor, as a visual aid by having him stand a couple of hundred yards away Continue reading?

Delmar was holding court in the store, signing books, answering questions and so forth. Suddenly the front door burst open and a guy walked in-I Continue reading?

A few months ago I returned our metal folding dog crate to the original owner. It was our dog's preferred place to go at bedtime and when she was home alone.

Not so in Montana, where hunters enjoy a 62 day season, 2-birds daily bag limit, 4-birds in possession and over the counter license. But the best things are public land hunts with little or no competition. Continue reading?

We receive many customers in our retail store on their way to pick up a new pup, or returning home from picking up a pup, with the intention of buying necessary supplies. Sometimes they work from a list, but most wander through and pick up what they think they may need; regardless, we always direct Continue reading?

I have been using the Garmin Alpha a good bit on my beagles and noticed that the collar strap was not drawing down small enough to use on my smaller girls, rendering it ineffective should I need to use the training portion of the system. We brainstormed and came up with a smaller collar strap, Continue reading?

This fall I was looking for a good economical backup light to use for coon/predator hunting. I decided to try one of our Super Smart lights from Lion Country Supply. I was hoping for a decent light at a good price to use if I had forgotten to charge my first string light or to Continue reading?

Certifect is the best tick spot on I've ever tried! I've been using this new quick kill formula flea and tick monthly spot on by Frontline on my setters for 2 weeks now. I'm amazed at how hardly any ticks have attached to my dogs although I pick maybe 10 or 20 off each time Continue reading?

This past summer has been particularly bad for fleas in our area. My wife and I have four house dogs that have been plagued with fleas, and we have been working to find them and us some relief from what seemed to be constant scratching. After trying several other spot on treatments and various kennel Continue reading?

The flat sided kennel pail comes in three sizes: 2qt, 4qt, and 6qt. They are made well and the larger size is great for outdoor dog kennels. I attached the 6qt pail to my kennel with a zip tie so my lab doesn't knock it over. The flat side keeps the pail close to the kennel Continue reading?
