If you’ve ever wanted to see how smart and obedient a retriever can be plan to attend an AKC sporting event. These are across the country. The AKC Hunt Test is a combination of incredible canine eye-sight and physical strength and the ability for the dog to perservere in all types of outdoor conditions.

Podcasts by dog trainers are reaching large audiences of listeners ready to take advice on any number of subjects. Robert Cabral interviews me about AKC Hunt Test programs nationwide.

Responsible dog owners love to hike outdoors with their four-legged companions and seldom is there a problem. But while our beautiful wilderness looks safe enough, the wild outdoors can become life-threatening in an instant.

In the eyes of working dog enthusiasts everywhere, AKC Field Trials are the Olympics of retriever performance. It is where dogs and handlers are judged as a team for their combined abilities to perform at the highest stakes of competition. In the history of the sport, few have reached the top of the podium as often as Mike Lardy of Handjem Retrievers.
