Joined by our friend and repeat guest, Lyle Steinman, from Castile Creek Kennels, we sit down to catch up, discuss retriever training, good dogs, goals for 2026 and the National Retriever Gundog Championships (NRGC). What is this? Well, you should listen and hear all about it. If you’re interested in learning more or competing, you should check out National Retriever Gundog Championships page here.

Here's a few highlights from the show:
