Tales of Accidental Bird Dogs: Charlotte Bryant
<div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="18tgc" data-offset-key="4rq55-0-0"> </div> <div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="18tgc" data-offset-key="5eusq-0-0"> <div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="5eusq-0-0"><span data-text= "true">In this episode, I'm joined by Charlotte, who shares how adopting a reactive rescue Weimaraner eventually led her into the world of NAVHDA and bird dog training. When Jade came into Charlotte's life at a year and a half old, she struggled with anxiety and reactivity, leaving Charlotte searching for ways to meet her needs. Barn Hunt became their first breakthrough, giving Jade an outlet that noticeably reduced her stress and helped build her confidence.</span></div> </div> <div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="18tgc" data-offset-key="fs8o4-0-0"> <div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="fs8o4-0-0"> <span data-offset-key="fs8o4-0-0"> </span></div> </div> <div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="18tgc" data-offset-key="1jkcj-0-0"> <div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="1jkcj-0-0"><span data-text= "true">After learning that Jade came from field lines, Charlotte decided to see if hunting might be something that Jade would enjoy. One NAVHDA training day was all it took. Jade's natural bird drive and enthusiasm were undeniable, and Charlotte found a passion that has changed both of their lives.</span></div> </div> <div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="18tgc" data-offset-key="60f70-0-0"> <div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="60f70-0-0"> <span data-offset-key="60f70-0-0"> </span></div> </div> <div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="18tgc" data-offset-key="7l3gi-0-0"> <div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="7l3gi-0-0"><span data-text= "true">Three years later, Jade has made incredible progress. Her reactivity is much bette managed, she's working on being steady to shot, and Charlotte is hoping to take a trip this fall to introduce Jade to wild birds.</span></div> </div> <div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="18tgc" data-offset-key="6s1ov-0-0"> <div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="6s1ov-0-0"> <span data-offset-key="6s1ov-0-0"> </span></div> </div> <div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="18tgc" data-offset-key="c6n5l-0-0"> <div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="c6n5l-0-0"><span data-text= "true">If you've ever wondered whether it's too late to start a bird dog, questioned what a rescue dog is capable of, or simply love hearing stories of dogs discovering what they were born to do, you'll enjoy this conversation.</span></div> </div> <div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="18tgc" data-offset-key="foe0s-0-0"> </div> <div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="18tgc" data-offset-key="bg6ui-0-0"> <div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="bg6ui-0-0"> <span data-offset-key="bg6ui-0-0"> </span></div> </div> <div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="18tgc" data-offset-key="1g1cu-0-0"> <div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="1g1cu-0-0"><span data-text= "true">You can follow Charlotte on Facebook or Instagram at Weim Crime Sisters.</span></div> </div> <div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="18tgc" data-offset-key="1q6m9-0-0"> <div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="1q6m9-0-0"><span data-text= "true">--</span></div> </div> <div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="18tgc" data-offset-key="tfib-0-0"> <div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="tfib-0-0"><span data-text= "true">The Accidental Bird Dog Podcast is part of the <a href= "https://herupland.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Her Upland</a> Podcast Network and sponsored by <a href= "https://www.onxmaps.com/hunt/app" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">OnX Hunt</a>.</span></div> </div> <div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="18tgc" data-offset-key="2m25j-0-0"> </div> <div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="18tgc" data-offset-key="a4d7j-0-0"> </div>

The Puppy Foundation Behind a National Champion

This year, John's older Vizsla Shelby won the Vizsla Club of America's National Gun Dog Championship, while his younger dog Taylor won the Open Derby and earned her Amateur Field Championship at 17 months.</span></div> </div> <div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="10sek" data-offset-key="6lpn0-0-0"> <div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="6lpn0-0-0"> <span data-offset-key="6lpn0-0-0"> </span></div> </div> <div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="10sek" data-offset-key="juib-0-0"> <div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="juib-0-0"><span data-text= "true">What's especially interesting is that John doesn't have many of the resources people often assume are necessary for success. He doesn't own horses, an ATV, or a large training property. Instead, he relies on access to a hunting club, a loft of homing pigeons, an e-bike, and a clear vision for what he wants his dogs to become.</span></div> </div> <div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="10sek" data-offset-key="7eesc-0-0"> <div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="7eesc-0-0"> <span data-offset-key="7eesc-0-0"> </span></div> </div> <div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="10sek" data-offset-key="1qjma-0-0"> <div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="1qjma-0-0"><span data-text= "true">We dive into how he structures a puppy's first year, the bird work he introduces early on, and why his approach differs from what many handlers are doing. Whether your goal is field trials, hunt tests, or simply developing a confident bird dog, you'll find practical insights into how early experiences can shape a dog's future performance.</span></div> </div> <div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="10sek" data-offset-key="c1sca-0-0"> <div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="c1sca-0-0"> <span data-offset-key="c1sca-0-0"> </span></div> </div> <div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="10sek" data-offset-key="91r4c-0-0"> <div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="91r4c-0-0"><span data-text= "true">If you've ever wondered whether you need professional-level resources to produce a high-performing bird dog, this conversation may change your perspective.</span></div> </div> <div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="10sek" data-offset-key="ag97f-0-0"> <div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="ag97f-0-0"> <span data-offset-key="ag97f-0-0"> </span></div> </div> <div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="10sek" data-offset-key="391md-0-0"> <div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="391md-0-0"><span data-text= "true">You can reach John by email at imageline@sbcglobal.net.</span></div> </div> <div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="10sek" data-offset-key="1gq7a-0-0"> <div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="1gq7a-0-0"><span data-text= "true">--</span></div> </div> <div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="10sek" data-offset-key="4vjlf-0-0"> <div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="4vjlf-0-0"><span data-text= "true">The Accidental Bird Dog Podcast is part of the</span> <span data-text="true">@herupland</span> <span data-text= "true">Podcast Network and sponsored by</span> <span data-text= "true">@onxhunt</span><span data-text="true">.</span></div> </div>
