Bob D. Strong, BVSc
Olin, NC
Background
Bob's been workin' with gun dogs his whole life. Whether it was chasin' rabbits and quail in Western Kentucky as a kid, wadin' through the backwaters huntin' ducks in Illinois, or walkin' the fields of Kansas flushin' out roosters, it just seemed right to Bob to hunt with a top-notch dog. Now he trains retrievers for competitive retriever events and for the bush. The United Kennel Club and Hunting Retriever Club hunt tests have become his games of choice.
