Tony Nickerson
Yarmouth County, Nova Scotia, Canada
Background
Tony has been involved with hunting dogs for the past 28 years. He first became involved with hounds and retrievers, and in more recent years his involvement has been with the versatile hunting breeds, specifically the Wirehaired Pointing Griffon. On average, he bird hunts in the area between 30 and 40 days a year.
Why I Use SportDOG Brand
I have used other products and they have failed under field conditions. I need equipment that can stand up to the abuse from very tough dogs in rugged terrain.
