Field Trial Podcast

The Gun Dog Notebook Podcast was created by Georgia native Durrell Smith as an outlet to discuss and explore concepts of gun dog training and field trialing. Overtime the podcast evolved to dive deep into the journey and history of the American Field. From iconic field trial legends to high quality breeders and trainers, Durrell explores what it takes to turn a puppy into a field trial ready gun dog.

If competition and field trialing is your thing than this podcast will speak to you! Durrell gives ongoing candid takes on his pointer Vegas and their progression through this often mysterious world.
