First episode to bonus series of: Building A Better Bird Dog, with William Bastian of Claddagh Kennel, kicks off with where it all starts, ‘in the whelping box’. The work starts in the breeder’s hands, as they combine genetics and a solid foundation. Once you pick your puppy up at 8 weeks old, it’s up to you to hone those skills, provide positive experiences, and understand the importance of a disciplined, well-mannered dog.
