A very open conversation with Sean Kearney of Kelmarsky Gun Dogs as he takes us through his methods of selecting pups to become champions as well as his fantastic journey to winning the 2022 Irish Retriever Championship and his next upcoming challenge to prepare for the 2023 IGL championship in England.

We will be discussing Natalie's search for he perfect hunting companion as well as their journey through training, and hunting as well as the first hunt for Hatchet and Natalie.

Keith resides in Limerick Ireland on the the Islands Atlantic Coast. This in depth conversation will give you a good understanding of the Irish culture of hunting over Labradors, as well as how a field trial works and is judged. The two topics pair nicely as a Field Trial in Ireland is designed to be as close to a real days hunting as possible.

Keith can be contacted at Lurriga Labradors on Facebook and Instagram.
