Today I’d like to announce that Gundog Central has acquired Gun Dog Forum (gundogforum.com). Gun Dog Forum is one of the longest-standing online communities dedicated to our bird hunting dogs.

Founded more than 23 years ago, Gun Dog Forum has served as a trusted gathering place for breeders, trainers, and hunters to exchange knowledge, share experiences, and celebrate the tradition of bird dogs. Under the new ownership of Gundog Central, the site will continue operating while receiving modern updates and long-term infrastructure support.

I want to honor what made it the site strong, protect its history, and ensure it continues to serve serious dog people for the next 20 years. The forum’s existing culture and member base will remain a priority. The acquisition is not about replacing the forum’s identity, but reinforcing it with stable hosting, security improvements, and technical updates. More importantly, the forum’s archive, which representing decades of discussions on training, breeding, and hunting will remain intact.

The acquisition aligns with Gundog Central’s broader mission to build digital infrastructure for the gun dog community. By bringing Gun Dog Forum on board, Gundog Central aims to connect the gun dog community like never before with an organized and sustainable online environment.

Gun Dog Forum joins a host of other gun dog focused domains acquired by Gundog Central, including NetKennel.com, PerfectPedigree.com, GundogChat.com and GundogDirectory.com.

This week on Gundog Central, Edgar Castillo reviews the Benchmade Flyway Upland Knife. You can read Edgar’s review here: https://gundogcentral.com/articles/6218/benchmade-flyaway-knife

About Edgar : Edgar Castillo is a recently retired law enforcement officer for a large Kansas City metropolitan agency. He also served in the United States Marine Corps.

Born in Guatemala, hunting was a new concept when Edgar came to the U.S. His passion lies in the uplands as he travels across public lands throughout Kansas or wherever the dirt road takes him…to hunt open fields, walk treelines, & bust through plum thickets in search of wild birds in wild places.

This fervid emotion for the uplands has since blossomed into a SIGNIFICANT social media presence. It has allowed Edgar to share his experiences and connect with other bird hunters through writing.
