Ep. 60: NSTRA Dog PLUS Wild Bird Dog with Alan Higham

On this episode I sit down with my friend Alan Higham who has mentord me in the NSTRA events this past year. We dive into his Shorthairs and what he looks for in dogs to make both great wild bird dogs and NSTRA dogs. Alan has a great outlook on hunting wild birds and helping those newcomers along the way as they navigate the world of hunting, trialing and the vast world of bird dogs.    Links: NSTRA ------------ The podcast fall kick off giveaway is still going on and prizes are up for grabs for August, Sept and Oct.
