There is a lot of noise when it comes to taking care of the furry bird-hunting friends. However, there is one duck hunting veterinarian, Jonathan Bradshaw, that wants to help owners who hunt cut through it.
Packed with vitamins and minerals, and hiding just inside the duck or crane or goose you’re after this year, is a little nugget of goodness that your dog is waiting for you to cook and toss to him/her. Smoked goose liver treats are easy and just one more way to utilize the fruits of your labor.
A good retriever is always ready to go, but it’s not always time for them to go full tilt. For their own sake sometimes we have to ease them off the throttle, and sometimes you need to remember to keep the work light. Summertime training is important, especially ahead of waterfowl season, but be sure to keep in mind your hunting buddy’s health during the long hot days of the preseason.
So you’re getting a new pup and it’s going to be a duck dog- but how will he/she get there? Will you dedicate the time and energy to training him or her yourself, or send your new four-legged hunting buddy to a pro?
