Your bird dog's "suit of armor" and how it helps him reach his peak

Scott Linden Upland Nation

Carbon Score: 8.5

In previous videos, we’ve covered a dog’s … headlights, wheels and steering wheel … Now, it’s time to cover a dog’s largest organ, that I’ll call his “body and paint,” his skin and coat. Like a suit of armor, they protect a dog from virtually everything that can put him on the injured reserve list when he could be hunting. To help you - and him - through a long season, I'll outline many of the problems that are easily handled without a vet visit, if you have a few things on hand, their potential causes, and what you can do about them so you both get back to hunting ASAP. I'll also settle that proverbial campfire debate once and for all: are hair and fur are the same thing?
