This week was Setter Dogs annual inspection by the veterinarian and we earned a pass. The following day, a random inspection was conducted by the Kansas Dept of Agriculture and we passed for all current kennel licenses! Thank you to my staff, Nick, Mikayla, Jim, James, and Teresa, for your outstanding efforts. Your commitment to excellence is noticed and appreciated!

Wrapping up a great summer with the interns! Intern Cooper Rathbun did the typical kennel work and researched solar power possibilities for the kennel and barn. Cooper’s preliminary research was a good start for this project as it is an ongoing project. Intern Nick Koster is a repeat intern familiar with the daily tasks of a working kennel. He also worked on controlling Old World Bluestem in CRP. His initial control method was positive, however this too is an ongoing project. Post graduate intern Avery Obermueller found her way back to Setter Dogs for a short term project of rehabbing the pond. The water level is low so she was able to mow cattails, cut willow trees and establish a water line from a well to keep the pond from going dry. Thank you Cooper, Nick and Avery! Your work at Setter Dogs was meaningful now and for the future!

We have hunted many seasons together and now you bring your son. You always wait until your son gets a bird, then and only then you hunt for your bird. Congrats on another super gobbler!

Hadn't we all grown weary of these warm spring like days lol, well back by unpopular demand in north central Kansas......winter.

However, continuing by popular demand, guided Wild Bird Tours! Bring your upland bird dog pup, inexperienced dog,
seasoned dog, field trial prospect, or just your hunting buddy to gain experience on the best.....wild birds. 5000 acres of private ground and all wild birds with both pheasants and quail. No live fire guns allowed. It's just like hunting except no live fire guns. The Advantage- Not much guessing, your guide knows where the birds are and helps you get your dog in, on or around the wild birds. Setter Dogs, it's where champions come.

Chad Wright, former Navy Seal and instructor, states what every small business, corporation, organization, non-profit, athletic team, government agency, university and school should strongly consider. Note the most important one, wish everyone could experience this at least once in their life.
