Today we sit down to hang out with our good friend, Marie, from Silver Lion Kennels. You may remember Marie, as she used to work at Lone Duck for a couple years and now she is crushing it with her own kennel over in Acworth, NH.

Marie and her husband, Steve, recently got married and instead of going to sit at the beach or snorkel some island, they took the dogs for a midwest hunting trip.... I like to call it a huntymoon. We get to hear about how she took her GSP, Colt, to hunt alongside his father and grandfather and how cool it is to notice similarities between generations and bloodlines. Then they took their other dog, Sprocket, on their first real deal duck hunt and we got to hear about some memorable retrieves and moments from the trip.

We end the show hearing more about her business and how she built her 15 run kennel on their property. It's interesting to chat with people about this sort of thing because it's always tough, exciting and fulfilling to create a business like this. We often have people DM us asking about starting their own kennels, what it's like, what you learn and wish you did differently, etc. so it's cool to chat with Marie and hear how she is making things happen.

If you're looking for someone who is extremely knowledgeable, patient and will work super hard to train a dog for you... Marie is a solid choice. You can check out her instagram here. Cheers!
