    Cardio Tip

    I used to use one of those bike attachments to get my dog in shape. Works well, especially for younger dogs. For older dogs I found I needed to pay close attention to how they were doing, as their natural gait is not to run at one constant speed for long distances. Enjoy!

    Was on a walk with dog in northern MN last weekend and saw two. Positive outlook: saw two on a short walk. Negative outlook: just one chick in the “brood”.

    What I saw in MN after Noah's flood

    Bob, I admire your optimism, but in this case I am skeptical. I agree the flooding is likely only a localized problem, and the grasslands are thick and full of bugs. But I am quite concerned the cool and very wet weather during the peak of the hatch will result in poor production. I am rooting...

    Is a hay field good for pheasants?

    Both are issues. This doesn’t have to be a “one over the other “.

    Governor Noem writes about her hunting dog

    With all due respect, to me this is not a political issue. But rather an issue of animal cruelty and lack of understanding on how to train a dog.

    Governor Noem writes about her hunting dog

    Interesting how a Minnesota dog trainer gets arrested for killing a hard-to-train dog, but a Governor does essentially the same thing with no repercussions.

    Dog Dies While At Trainer

    A few years ago I spent a few hours at this trainers place. First chance to expose my pup to released birds. Got his name on a recommendation. Honestly didn’t have any issues or concerns working with him. Because we were exposing the pup to bird scent for the first time, no e-collar was ever...
