Update: 2025-07-29
Description
In this episode of the Hunt Test Hobo Podcast, host Chris Rud sits down with Purina's Ray Voigt—a seasoned pro in the retriever world and former right-hand man to Mike Lardy—for a wide-ranging Q&A that covers everything from training philosophies to field trial memories. They talk through the “Double T” controversy, what separates a good dog from a great one, and how to build confidence on long marks. Ray also shares insights into transitioning dogs to cold blinds, his favorite grounds (shoutout to Wilmington, IL), and even where to get the best Chinese takeout before a trial. Whether you're an amateur handler or aspiring pro, this episode is packed with wisdom, laughs, and practical advice.
