Gun Dog It Yourself

You should always jump at the opportunity when you get the chance to talk to someone in the upland space who has been chasing these birds for as long as Walt Lesser has! After all, he literally wrote the book on the Real Ryman Setter.

It was a privilege to sit down with Walt in his home and hear his stores and what it was exactly that spoke to him about the Ryman Setters.
