MEET THE SPORTDOG BRAND® TEAM

At SportDOG, our goal is to offer the best products possible based on our experience in the field. But we can't be everywhere, so we rely on our pro staff and field staff members to help us. Our pros are some of the best at what they do, and our field staffers are as dedicated to building great dogs as anyone. These team members are not employees of SportDOG Brand® or our parent company, Radio Systems Corp., but they are critical to our success. As our team grows, you're likely to run into some of them while you're training, hunting or competing. They use SportDOG exclusively. Ask them why. Their answers are the best endorsement we can offer our customers.

Occupation: Wildlife Biologist

Background: Derek is the founder and President of Central Kentucky Hunting Retriever Association, Inc. After seeing a need for improvement of our hunting retriever breeds, he set out to educate the retriever community in Central Kentucky on common health concerns, quality retriever work and common training practices to improve our retrievers. CKHRA was officially formed in the Fall of 2001 and has been a very successful HRC club. Members range from all over the state of Kentucky, into Ohio, Tennessee and Indiana.

Why I use SportDOG Brand®: Sometimes, dog-training time can be hard to come by, but SportDOG Brand® products make each and every training session productive. They are affordable and have outstanding features. They are reliable and have the best customer service of any company I have ever dealt with.

Favorite Products: Model SD-2500
