Shawn K. Wayment, DVM, knew by the age of 7 that he was obsessed with bird dogs. After serving a stint as a parachuting medic with the 82nd Airborne Division, he enrolled in Washington State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine, graduating in 1997. Shawn practices in Castle Rock, Colorado, specializing in the veterinary care of sporting dogs. In the fall, he can be found roaming the uplands of North America, chasing his cover-dog English setters. Shawn can be reached at birddogdoc@uplandways.com.
