Gear for Training, Testing, Trialing, and Hunting

Gear for you and your bird dog. What do you actually need versus what is a "nice to have"? In this episode I cover the essentials for bird dog training, as well as running field trials, hunt tests, or wild bird hunting. In the intro, I mentioned AKC's new retrieve test for pointing breed field trials.
