The Kind of Hunting Dog We Mean: Waylon’s 100-Yard Recover

Real Spaniel Work: Waylon’s Ice-Cold Duck Recovery

“Waylon had ice on his ears and back. Tracked a wounded duck about a hundred yards.”

That’s not luck—that’s drive + nose + desire + training showing up in real hunting conditions. Robert’s English Cocker Waylon is the full package: tough enough to push through the cold, smart enough to stay on the line, and determined enough to finish the retrieve.

This is exactly what we mean when we say

a finished dog is built for the moment that counts.

We love sharing moments like this because they’re the real reason we do what we do—great dogs, great handlers, and memories that stick with you. If you want help building a dog you can trust in the field, we’re here.

Todd—thank you so much for everything you did with Waylon. I couldn’t be happier with him. The training you put into him is really showing up in the field—he’s steady, confident, and works with so much heart. Watching him hunt and finish birds the right way has been incredibly rewarding, and I’m truly grateful for your time, patience, and the high standard you hold. Thanks again for helping make Waylon the dog he is today.

—Robert
