“I love the challenge of hunting public lands with Hank, my Golden Retriever. To me, the satisfaction is so much higher than hunting in a private field because you have less control over the environment.
When you’re hunting public lands, you hit the field knowing you might not get the spot you want to go to. It’s that way every morning. Sometimes you get out there and there’s a group of people in the spot you were aiming for– one of my favorite hunts was one where this happened. I started talking to them, and we decided to hunt together and it was a great experience. It’s cool to meet new people that way.
I trained Hank myself, primarily on public lands. The state of Tennessee does a great job managing properties for field trials and public training grounds. I don’t have the resources or network available to me to go on any given day to a private property with 800 yards of open ground, so public lands have been a vital part of my training journey and relationship with Hank.” –Matthew Hagen, GUNNER Senior Accountant

“One of my favorite memories of fishing with my dogs, Alberto and Shakira, was last summer when I took them to one of my go-to spots— a remote river in the Rockies with incredible fishing and crystal-clear waters. Shakira was only five months old, and it was one of her first times wade fishing with me. What made it so special was watching Alberto act as a “big brother,” patiently waiting for her to cross the river and looking out for her in deeper or faster sections. The two of them built a lot of trust that day. That is also the day the three of us truly became a pack. It was beautiful to witness and will always remain a sacred memory.
I’ve never had to show up for anyone like I’ve shown up for my dogs, and it’s been the greatest honor of my life. As I strive to give them the best life in the world, I am, in turn, giving myself an amazing life as well. We spend as much time as possible outside, in nature, breathing fresh air, moving our bodies, cultivating curiosity, and being truly present in the moment. Through fishing especially, we’ve learned so much about each other: to show up for each other, to lean on each other, to give each other grace, and most of all, we’ve created an inseparable bond and become an extraordinary team.” –Gloria Goñi, GUNNER Pack Member

“Fishing with my two pups is my favorite thing in the world– it is so dang special to share my greatest passion with the loves of my life. My older dog, Alberto, was hesitant at first, but over the past few years, he’s gained a lot of confidence. Now, he loves to prop his paws up on the side of my raft and take in the scenery as we float. On the other hand, my younger Griffon pup, Shakira, was fearless from the start, even trying to get up close and personal with the fish.
What I admire most about my dogs is how they are always living in the present moment. They have no to-do list, they don’t worry about tomorrow, and instead they only think about the moment at hand. Fishing with them helps me do the same. It clears my mind, and having them by my side enhances the experience in the most glorious way. When I wade fish, the two of them run around and explore the area. It's freedom at its finest! When we’re in the boat, they snooze, sniff a fish if we catch one, and take in the peaceful views as we drift by.
Since Alberto was initially apprehensive about the boat, I found that getting him comfortable in short spurts was key. I fed him on the boat, kept things fun and happy, and made sure he always had a good time. Instead of taking long trips, we started with hour-long floats, focusing on making it a positive experience for him rather than fishing. It took some patience, but it was so worth it. Now we get to share time on the water and even go on multi-day float/fishing trips.
The best part has been the shared experience. My dogs are my best friends, and combining our time together with my passion for fishing has been remarkable. Getting skunked on the river with my pups beats lights-out fishing without them any day of the week. Fish or no fish, being out there with my two dogs is nothing short of a dream come true. It's been so special to see them learn, grow, and fall in love with the river just as I did so many years ago. It is the greatest way I have found to spend my days, and I feel confident they would say the same if they could.” –Gloria Goñi, GUNNER Pack Member

We are incredibly thankful for those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
Our thoughts and prayers with the families in remembrance. Thank you.
Is moose always hungry? The answer is yes.. and what better way to feed him than out of Gunner Kennels dog bowl.
No party like a GUNNER party.
What is your opinion on a raw diet? We see a lot of the Pack go the extra mile in feeding as their dogs get older.
You asked, we listened. Welcome back, black.
You asked, we listened. Welcome back, black.
Feed time is one of the simplest times you can utilize to train your pup. Steadiness, place training, and even honoring.
Feed time usually marks the end of a productive training day this time of year, and we are here for it.

“My family and I have been planning a vacation to Hawaii for a while now. When we finally got down there I, of course, had to sneak away to hunt for a few days. I met up with a friend and his dog, Gunner.
Although the islands share a few similar species to the mainland, my main goal was to chase new species. Peacock and Kalij were the priorities as well as the variety of Francolin on offer. We hunted a mix of public and private with terrain ranging from the grassy foothills to the more rugged rocky terrain higher on the volcano. The birds were also tough- many of them being runners. This made it extra rewarding to take a step back and enjoy watching the dog work. Seeing a dog work birds through this tough terrain is similar to what I’m used to with chukar, but seeing an exotic species flush off the end of a point was extra special.” - Matt Hardinge, GUNNER Pack Member

POLL:
Would you TRADE (sell) the Anahuac blue and SWAP (buy) for a brighter color: Sulphur (I like to call it chartreuse) to match our new bowl/food crate???

Bold. Zesty. Habanero-inspired nod to the upland community. 🔥🔥🔥 Kudos to Gunner for this striking new color option in the same bomb-proof package.
A color for every dog.

“This year I spent some time in the hospital, and for about a month post-surgery, I was wheelchair bound, was healing and recovering, and then got an infection that nearly killed me and ended up back in the hospital. Tyr is with me 24/7, and he was there to aid me every step of the way with this too – nudging my hands, getting items off the ground, and providing a sense of comfort and stability.
A month after the second surgery, I was out in Arizona elk hunting and Tyr, as always, went with me. It was the hardest hunt I’ve ever been on, both mentally and physically.
My doctors technically gave me the go-ahead, but I was still healing. There’s definitely some rough terrain out there in the mountains; the first week we went about 40 miles on foot, and by night three I was in so much physical pain I wasn’t able to climb into the rooftop tent on my truck to sleep at night. I ended up sleeping in the cab of the truck with Tyr, and there wasn’t a single moment he didn’t make sure I was okay. He spent the whole trip leading in front of me, bracing me, and pulling me up onto things. He’s truly a lifesaver in multiple facets.
I didn’t get an elk this year, but that hunt was still a success in my mind because I was able to overcome and accomplish things I never thought I’d be capable of post-surgery. But no matter what the situation was out there, Tyr was still smiling with his tail wagging, ready to go again.
After spending seven years in the Marine Corps, I have a strong mental game; I’m at the point in my life where mentally it’s hard to beat me. A large part of overcoming mental barriers is who you surround yourself with– having Tyr right next to me is a major contributor in my ability to keep moving forward.
He helps me fight through physical pain so I can be at my best mentally. With him I’m able to push through day after day.” –Jordan Leitsch, #GunnerEffect23 Winner | #GunnerDogs
