Andy and Amanda Doak live and love all things bird dogs, hunting, conservation, and NAVHDA (North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association). For those that have experienced the friendships made through your involvement in NAVHDA, you can relate to this conversation about the personal gain that comes not only from those relationships with other people but also with your dogs. Andy and Amanda’s gratitude inspires them to give back to the organization at the local and national levels. Andy shares more about why he is currently running for the vice president position of the NAVHDA International board. Voting ends on Nov 16, get your votes in!
