Lynndee Galey of Firelight Setters joins me in a great conversation about a breed that wears many hats. She has a long history in the Setter world. Starting with Irish Setters, then Gordon Setters and now for the past thirty years, English Setters. Lynndee shares her knowledge, experience and wisdom on this episode.

Fritz Heller stopped into the Studio/ kennel to give me updates on acquiring two dogs that are 3 weeks apart in age and miles apart in style. Definitely a challenge, but doable! We also review last season in the Michigan grouse woods and the future of it.

Larry Ressler grew up in North Dakota about the same time I grew up in Illinois. We both had parents that did not hunt, but still found the path to the Uplands. We chat about the many dogs Larry has had, and the next one he is looking for.

I went the the Second Chance Bird fun trial and it lived up to the title.....FUN. What do you get when you have a kitchen table, a microphone and some time to kill before a banquet? You rekindle old friendships and make new ones!!!

Holly Heyser had almost twenty years of hunting under her belt before she got her first dog. She did the research, and pulled a winning ticket out of the whelping box!

Karen and I go way back.... really way back. We cover the basics of K9 health, advise in the field and why we still love Wirehairs.

Karl Gunzer joins me to talk about the many facets of what it takes to fuel our dogs and support our lifestyle. We chat about everything from labs to pointing dogs and even a segment on sheep dog trials.
