Versatile hunting dog, bird hunting and Pudelpointer guru Bob Farris joins me for a wide-ranging discussion about the most successful NAVHDA versatile breed, bird dog genetics and their importance when choosing a pup, and why raising the bar on dog performance benefits hunters like us.

Bob recounts some incredible dog work over the years, explains why Pudelpointers are such water-work stars and takes us to the Bird Dog Hall of Fame.

We hit on his method for introducing a pup to water, teaching steadiness on birds, and a few chukar hunting secrets.

Our new "industry insider" feature has Andy McCormick, Senior Executive Vice President of firearms importer Legacy Sports, who will talk supply chain issues and more. The Upland Nation Glossary is up the letter "Q" and I'll take you to some public access starting points in the Midwest.
