  • Started dogs with Mark Dinsmore

    Thanks again Nick for an engaging interview with another Mark, Mark Dinsmore. My experience with started (and rescue dogs) are the same as Mark describes. Anyone thinking about getting a bird dog or training a bird dog would be well served to listen to this Mark (Dinsmore) and Mark Payton. Well done Nick!
