We recorded this conversation and I intended to tidy it up and lay some footage over it but I thought I should leave it alone and let it onto RU-vid just as it is.
Bryan came to a sheep and cattle dog training clinic i was doing in Nevada while I was staying with my friend Haley Hunewill. I was delighted to hear that Bryan had worked with another cowboy trainer and clinician and student friend of Tom and Bill Dorrance, Mr Ray Hunt.
I had heard of all three about 25 year ago but a couple of things Ray said were foundational to my philosophy on sheepdog training, so I couldn't wait to meet Bryan.
Bryan also trains cattle dogs in California and frequently sells at Red Bluff and has top the sale there a number of times
If going to see Bryan had been the only reason I had travelled from Ireland all the way to Nevada, well it would have been worth it just for the conversations I got to have with him over the couple of days.
I really look forward to getting to talk to him again. For me, talking with fellows like Bryan, is one of those things I value for a lifetime.
