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.
Why I Use SportDOG Brand
I use SportDOG Brand® collars for the same reason each of the pro and field staff members do. It's simple: they're the best on the market. I've used other brands. SportDOG's performance and durability are unmatched.
