We had the honor of sitting down with Dr. Tim Gudehus, DVM, DECVS, DACVS after he came out and hunted with us — and it turned into one heck of a conversation.

Not only did we recap a successful hunt and talk through how the dogs performed in real hunting conditions, but we also got deep into working dog medical care with one of the most highly trained veterinary surgeons in the field. Dr. Gudehus breaks down injury prevention, field emergencies, recovery, conditioning, and long-term care for hard-going dogs that give everything they’ve got.

This isn’t just textbook vet talk — this is real-world dog work meeting top-level veterinary knowledge. From what to watch for after a tough catch to how to keep your dogs performing at their best season after season, there’s something in here for anyone who depends on their dogs in the woods.

A great hunt, great dogs, and even better knowledge shared. You don’t want to miss this one.
