Wily Roosters Challenge the Crew of SportingDog Adventures in New Episode
Jeff and Katherine Fuller 07.07.14
It’s a challenge for the generations, as three generations of the Fuller family hit the snow-covered fields of central South Dakota for a December pheasant hunt!
“This hunt was tough for our crew, due both to the weather conditions and the ages of the hunters involved,” says Jeff Fuller, Host and Executive Producer of SportingDog Adventures. “There was a heavy snowfall which made it easy for the birds to walk on top, but hunters and dogs alike fell through. Add to it that we were hunting with my father who’s in his mid-seventies as well as two of my young sons, and it makes for a challenging hunt.”
Challenging conditions or not, South Dakota delivered, with the skies raining roosters on the SportingDog Crew. Despite a drought last year and a cold, wet spring, pheasant biologists still predict that over one million birds will be harvested this coming pheasant season, maintaining the state’s status as the “Pheasant Capital” (source: pheasantsforever.org). “A South Dakota pheasant hunt is an invaluable experience in an upland hunter’s career,” says Fuller. “We try to go as a family each year and are pleased to able to share our experience on-air.”

Jeff Fuller, Host and Executive Producer of SportingDog Adventures, always loved dogs and hunting, but never expected to make a career out of it. Jeff followed his college career and time in the Army Reserve with a career in law enforcement, until a squad accident ended his career in 2005. Looking for a new path, Jeff began to expand his Labrador breeding program and incorporated Soggy Acres Retrievers. Appearances on local television shows inspired him to aim higher, and SportingDog Adventures was created to provide wholesome, family entertainment geared towards those with an interest in dogs and the outdoors. The show is now in its 4th season, with new episodes beginning each July on the Pursuit Channel, as well as several other networks including The Walk, Tuff TV, and Wild TV Canada. The show is also available year-round online at www.carbontv.com.
Katherine Fuller, wife of Jeff Fuller, came from a dog-loving family with a history of hunting that goes all the way back to her European roots. Still, she never expected to end up using her years of accounting experience and her marketing degree in support of a Labrador breeding program and a hunting show. In addition to her accounting and PR duties with Soggy Acres Retrievers kennel and SportingDog Adventures TV, Kate also appears on many of the episodes, and has also formed a marketing company, Brown Dog Communications, offering the outdoors industry media kits, press releases, web content, social media management, and more. Her contributions to OutdoorHub and other samples of her work can be found at www.browndogco.com. When she’s not writing or chasing after the dogs or the kids, she enjoys researching recipes and natural products, as well as organizing the family’s extensive photo collection.
