Background

Webb Footed Kennels, Inc. has produced more than 350 Hunting Retriever Champions, 175 Master Hunters, and 35 Grand Hunting Retriever Champions. They have also trained more than 3,000 duck dogs and family companions.
Why I Use SportDOG Brand
I’ve been with SportDOG Brand® since 2003. Since that time, I’ve watched SportDOG grow from a fairly young company to one of the leading e-collar producers in the business. Their products were designed by trainers and hunters who know how to develop a high-quality, reliable and durable e-collar. SportDOG is what we use at Webb Footed Kennels, Ltd on a daily basis.
Favourite Products
I use the ProHunter 2525 during training, because it’s easy to use and the remote’s slim design makes it easy to stow in my pocket. I switch to the WetlandHunter 1825 while hunting because the remote is easy to hook on my waders and I always know where it is.
