Bob D. Strong, DVM
Olin, NC
Background
Bob has worked with gun dogs all of his life. Whether it was chasing rabbits and quail in Western Kentucky as a boy, wading the backwaters hunting ducks in Illinois, or walking the fields of Kansas pushing roosters, it just seemed right to Bob to hunt behind a good dog. Now he trains retrievers for competitive retriever events and for the field. 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 are the best on the market. I’ve used other brands. SportDOG’s performance and durability are unmatched.
