I pinned down the very busy Christian Hagen a research professor with Oregon State university who also is doing work with the NRCS on Prairie Chickens. We talk about life in central Oregon, sage grouse and other upland birds, hunting with his munsterlanders and his recent NAVHDA test.

Adventures in Idaho with George Decosta, Treasure Valley NAVHDA and some fun stories about Griffons.

Season 1 Episode 5 George Decosta talks about his "farm" a place he is turning into the ultimate wildlife and dog training property. George is an apprentice NAVHDA Judge, a Griffon breeder and a guy who has worked really hard to get to a cool spot in life. I am pretty dang jealous of his setup and trying to talk him into getting assistance from the NRCS for his property and maybe putting the land in an easement some day.
