Chukar hunter, pro wirehair trainer-breeder on everything you need to excel at both

Just like a chukar hunt ... long and covering a lot of ground. That's today's interview with avid devil-bird chaser and pro dog trainer Jeff Funke of Three Devils Kennel. We'll take a deep dive into a wide variety of topics from breeding German Wirehaired Pointers, to the Versatile Hunting Dog Federation's testing program, to the reasons conformation is critical in a hunting situation. We'll cover chukar hunting scenarios from dropping the tailgate to where birds hang out, their food sources to behavior under pressure. 

Jeff shares some of the most common dog training and chukar hunting mistakes he sees, key habitat and terrain features he looks for on a hunt, surprising finds while in pursuit of chukars, and critical gear he takes on every hunt.

"Fix It" suggests we train our dog to drink differently; and listeners offer their shooting tips.
