THE BOND Ep 3
The Bond • Season 2 • Episode 3
Kerry Sharber is a one of a kind person and a one of a kind friend. He and Miles of @sok_foxridge have been friends for a long time, but gun dogs have brought them closer than ever. A dog named Rip changed everything. Kerry was in search of a big, long-legged retriever who was strong enough and seasoned enough to handle the currents that they battle there on the farm in Kentucky. The stars aligned, and Miles just happened to have the exact dog he was looking for.
Rip has not only served as the grocery-getter for the Sharber family during duck season, but he has served as the bridge between Miles and Kerry’s friendship. They spend a good deal of time together at duck camp, where banter and thick skin often play as big of a part in camp as the birds do. Campfires, great food, a lot of laughs and good gun dogs fill this farm every fall. The ducks are just a bonus.
Join us for episode 3 as we tell the story of Kerry & Rip.

SOK East has a really cool relationship with some guys down in Louisiana, which started with Alex Bel. Parrish and Alex host a few hunts together each season, and the stories we here are always centered on some killer retrieves made by the dogs bred and trained out East!
Visit our YouTube channel for @sok_east’s episode of The Bond Season 1.
Alex’s first SOK dog and Chase White’s “Jett” are littermates, which is how their connection began. Check out last year’s Episode 6 of “The Bond” for a deep dive into their friendship and how it all started!
Friendships started by our Labradors is a major theme for the stories of all of the SOK outposts. Our Outpost of the Week, @sok_bracken_creek, is no exception.
THE BOND - EP 6 - TRAILER
The final episode takes us to the middle of Kansas where “Jett” plays a pivotal part at Fowl Plains.
Jett, alongside Chase White of Fowl Plains and Alex Britton of Southern Oak Kennels - Bracken Creek endure brutally cold temps, high winds and giant wads of geese in this late season hunt. Bundle up, and enjoy.

THE BOND EPISODE 4 TRAILER
THE BOND - EP 4 - TRAILER
In this episode we chase big green heads and huge groups of geese with Miles of SOK Foxridge, Brenton of Salt Plains Outfitters and “Suzy” who’s wise well beyond her years.
Miles is one of the most genuine and nicest guys you’ll meet. Brenton, along with the rest of the team at Salt Plains, will make you feel right at home like you’ve known them forever.
This duo hit it off from day one. Brenton was looking for a dog that could not only handle 70 days of hunting every season, but one that had an off switch as well. Suzy’s natural ability coupled with Miles’ training helped her become exactly that. Tune in as Suzy pads her already impressive resume.

THE BOND - EPISODE 3
In episode 3, we travel to Nebraska with Wally Schalau and Don Collyer of Southern Oak Kennels - North, their good friend Mike Vaida, and a calm and collected yellow lab named Steel. Mike’s custom boat amidst the beautiful Missouri River provided us with a one of a kind landscape.
Mike has spent the majority of his life hunting this river. To combat the constant changes and frigid temps, and to accommodate his friends and good buddy Steel, he built a battleship of a duck boat. Heaters, a small kitchen, a TV, heated dog boxes and a built in blind provide the hunters as well as the dogs a comfortable place to enjoy both the hunt and company.
Wally, who was once neck deep in the Whitetail world, had his life changed completely while training his first Labrador many years ago. After that, he never returned to the whitetail woods. He traded his tree stand for a dog stand and never looked back. That decision led to many top-tier gun dogs as well as great friendships, like Mike and Steel.
We hope you enjoy episode 3 as this unique landscape, unique friendship and an appreciation for both shine through.

THE BOND - OFFICIAL TRAILER
"When we looked back, we realized that some of our closest and most valuable friendships had taken place just because a dog was involved. We wanted to show people that buying a dog was more than just having an animal, it's about having a bond not just with that dog, but a bond with the breeder, a bond with the trainer and the community that's involved with that." - Barton Ramsey of SOK
We're excited to bring you these stories of friendship and great gun dogs. Coming this summer.
