My brother and I at the Duck Commander Picking Station with Phil and Jase
The Robertson's are a great family and deserve the success they have worked hard for. I started a thread on the show when it first aired and there were some mixed thoughts on it. I love it! I think they are even some what shocked with the huge popularity of the show. Remember, Duck Commander had a following before the show started through the sale of their hunting DVD's. 'Duck Dynasty' has just exposed them to a wider audience. They are just what they appear to be on the show.
I've watched a bunch (if not all) of the episodes and this thread had got me thinking. These guys are the most hard core duck hunter around, yet I can't recall ever seeing a retriever on the show. I'm sure they hunt with dogs. Are their dogs kenneled up and are strictly work dogs? I don't know. Just don't remember seeing a dog running around with them.
Sane, The Duck commander Crew does hunt with a dog. They had 'Peggy Sue' for a long timeuntill she passed. The Have a good friend who breeds and trains labs and he sends them the dogs for the Hunting season. I think they sometimes return the dogs for Training and Puppy making during the off season.
This show is great. Jase and Si are a trip but Phil is my favorite. I liked when they had to babysit all the grand-daughters.
Obviously some scenes are staged but regardless, it is very entertaining. If you like it, let me suggest you watch Willie's Buck Commander videos. The things him, Chipper, Adam and the rest of the guys do are awesome.
