  So whose dog has gotten picked up in a field trial before?! If you run field trials, it's pretty much inevitable that your dog is going to get picked up at some point, no matter how well trained they are. In this episode, I discuss different ways that can get your dog picked up in AKC field trial gun dog stakes. I also go into detail about Zara's field trial career and explain the times that she has gotten picked up. I've heard from listeners that people like to hear these personal stories and how I've learned from mistakes I've made, so hopefully you find this useful!  -- The Accidental Bird Dog Podcast is sponsored by OnX Hunt and Elevate Pet Provisions.

God and Our Dogs - - Bird Dog Trust features Meg Greer as the host of "God and Our Dogs" on Boerne Radio. The show aims to draw parallels between the relationship we have with our dogs and our relationship with God. Meg introduces a theme pack featuring two prior guests, LaDonna Mack, a community volunteer, and Greg Rum, a physician's assistant. LaDonna shares her memories of her father training bird dogs, emphasizing the time, techniques, and gentle methods used to foster trust and obedience in the dogs. Greg discusses training his Labrador retriever, Bella, highlighting the importance of consistency, patience, and trust in the process. Both stories illustrate how investing time and effort into training leads to rewarding relationships, both with dogs and in a spiritual sense with God. The show concludes with a reflection on how the qualities needed to train bird dogs—patience, persistence, and love—can also apply to our relationship with Jesus Christ.

Host Bob St.Pierre is joined by Quail Forever Journal Editor Ryan Sparks for a conversation about bird dogs with musician, hunter, and Pheasants Forever member Reese Glover. After the unexpected death of St.Pierre's German shorthaired pointer, “Esky,” he wrote the blog, “The Story of a Bird Dog Going Out on Top.” Upon reading that blog, Glover sent St.Pierre his song, “Ballad of the Bird Dog,” which tells the story of a bird dog's final hunt at eleven years old. This episode brings laughter, tears, and a lifetime of memories. Episode Highlights: • Glover discusses his songwriting process and how it involves daily walks behind his own German shorthaired pointer, Bridger. • Sparks recounts the story of Tippet, his English pointer who also died suddenly of a heart attack earlier this year. Within that conversation, Sparks explains the beautiful reasoning behind Tippet's name and how the pup connected him to birds and Quail Forever. • For more information about Reese Glover's music and live performance opportunities, follow him on Instagram @reesealexanderglover
