Greg Blair is the Sporting Dog Manager at Purina, and has walked the fields with some of the finest bird dogs in America – including his own National Champion. Greg and Travis discuss what it takes to get the most out of your bird dog during the hunt, at trials, hunt tests, and at home. Greg explains how field trials positively affect dogs that hunt wild birds, sporting dog genetics, finding the right dog breed for you, learning from a mentor, finding the right training method, investing in your dog, and what it takes to reach the pinnacle for a bird dog. @gblair5
