Small Dog, Big Motor
from Dog Driven Podcast Hosted by Whitney Kaiser
In the working dog world, size gets a lot of attention. Big retrieves. Big water. Big presence. But motor doesn’t come in pounds — it comes in heart. In this episode of Dog Driven, I sit down with Chris Luis of Tater’s Flyway out of Beaverton, Oregon, to talk about life and hunting behind a Cocker Spaniel — a compact breed that continues to prove it can run with the big dogs. We dive into: • What “motor” really looks like in a smaller working dog • Training and structuring high drive without chaos • Waterfowl performance in real-world conditions • Breaking breed stereotypes • And the kind of grit that doesn’t rely on size to make an impact This isn’t about hype. It’s about execution. It’s about heart. If you’ve ever underestimated a dog — or been underestimated yourself — this one’s for you. Stay dog driven.
