5 years ago this month, I made a documentary about the life, love, heart, drive and impact of my first gun dog, Ruff. It was one of the hardest interviews I've ever done, and I still think about my old boy daily. Since then, I have been blessed to hunt with his sons and continue Ruff's incredible legacy. As Habitat Flats launches a big endeavor this coming spring '21, Habitat Flats Kennels, it was a unanimous decision to make our brand icon, Ruff, the face of our logo. I now want to share this special video here on KZfaq for the first time, and continue to spread the message of blessings that gun dogs bring to the lives of hunters and the homes where they are family.
There's nothing more special than the bond a waterfowler experiences with their sidekick in the field, and this documentary in particular has touched millions of hunters around the world over the years. I now have an equally strong but different bond with his son, Ki, who will be turning 8 this coming February. We are blessed beyond measure to have our dogs in the field, our best friends at home, and the spirit of the hunt live on through our gun dogs.
Thank you to everyone who gives hunting dogs a full life of doing what they love in the field... There aren't happier dogs on the planet. Or, happier dog owners.
