Gary Sheffer

Monticello, IN

Background

Gary's been hunting upland game for 15 years. Training Labs and German shorthairs for upland hunting is his speciality. Whether it's chasing pheasants or quails in Indiana, it's a top feeling to watch a dog he's trained point out a bird and then fetch it.

Why I Use SportDOG Brand

I use SportDOG Brand® collars for heaps of reasons. I’ve found they're the easiest to use and most durable e-collar a person can buy. The staff at SportDOG are top-notch people to work with and answer questions.

Started out hunting on small ponds and now I'm out on the big water chasing those diver ducks.
