Ep. 561 – Field Trials or Hunting Dog… Do you have to choose?

DUCKS UNLIMITED NATION TRIP AUCTION!Shawn Stahl, producer for RNT-V and Purina Pro Plan Ambassador, joins host Chris Jennings to talk about Stahl’s Labrador retriever, Karl. Stahl’s retriever travels the country with him during waterfowl season, but competed in field trials throughout the summer, giving him a full year-round experience. While not everyone agrees to having a dog that does both, Stahl explains the reasons why he allowed Karl to compete on a national level throughout the off season. The two also dig deeper into field trials and Stahl shares some tips for getting involved and why he felt it was important for his retriever to live in both worlds.www.ducks.org/DUPodcast DUCKS UNLIMITED NATION TRIP AUCTION!
