Now In Our 34th Year!
For more than three decades GUN DOG has reigned as North America’s premier
sporting dog publication, the only magazine devoted to all breeds of sporting dogs—
pointers, setters, retrievers, versatiles and spaniels. No other magazine provides such
comprehensive coverage of these hard-driving performers, and no other magazine
appeals to a wider demographic of upland gamebird and waterfowl hunters. These
are people who spend a great amount of time—and money—living with, training
and hunting over their dogs. To enhance this relationship, each issue of GUN DOG
features breed articles, the latest information on canine medicine, nutrition and new
products, hunting stories emphasizing the dog’s role in the field, and numerous
training articles showcasing the proven techniques and equipment developed and
utilized by professional and amateur trainers throughout the country.

A Voice In The Field
Whether it’s a duck marsh at dawn, a pheasant drive in the Dakotas, a plantation quail hunt in the Deep
South or a rugged excursion for chukars in the Mountain West, GUN DOG is there. If it’s a gamebird
and it’s hunted with dogs, we cover it, and we do so with authority. GUN DOG writers are lifelong
hunters and trainers who do what they write about, and they bring many decades of experience to their
assignments.

topics, ranging from habitat restoration efforts and
pending legislation to the activities of various pro- and
anti-hunting groups.

Right On Point And Delivering To Hand…
The average GUN DOG reader is anything but “average.” Our latest reader survey shows that the typical GUN DOG reader
owns two dogs and six shotguns, hunts upland gamebirds 22 days and/or waterfowl 19 days each season, and has been doing
so for 20 years. Two-thirds of those readers travel out of state to hunt each year—these are people who are dedicated to their
sport and to their dogs, and they are quite willing to “go the extra mile” to increase their hunting opportunities.
They’re also willing to put their money where their passion is. Readers annually spend $36 million on dog food and another
$31 million on their dogs’ health care. They spend $13 million on training equipment, and 85 percent of them own e-collars.
They devote at least four hours a week to training their own dogs, and half have also had their dogs professionally trained.
GUN DOG delivers a target audience of hard-core bird hunters whose passion is going afield with one or more welltrained dogs. Our writers provide editorial content specifically aimed at making our readers better owners,
trainers and hunters, and in turn, our readers have made GUN DOG the number one sporting dog
publication in North America.
WATERFOWL SECTION
Recognizing that duck and goose populations are currently at
an all-time high and retrievers are the most popular type of
sporting dog—Labradors have topped American Kennel Club
registration numbers for the past 23 years, and goldens are also
among the top five breeds—we will be expanding our waterfowling coverage in the key fall issues of 2015.
Beginning in September and continuing through the October
and November issues, GUN DOG will work closely with its sister
publication, WILDFOWL, to bring readers the latest information
on hunting hotspots, new equipment, shotguns and loads, plus
dynamic hunting stories “straight from the marsh.” The two publications will complement each other in this effort to deliver a
powerful one-two punch aimed specifically at the dyed-in-thecamo duck and goose hunter.

Shotguns & Destinations
While GUN DOG is all about the appreciation
and practical use of stylish, productive working
dogs, to develop the story fully we also highlight
great hunting destinations—both public and
private—across North America, and the tools of
the hunting trade.
Shotguns and shotshell-related editorial are regularly featured with special emphasis on delivering
the latest and the greatest at the onset of the key
third quarter. Throughout the year, shotguns and
ammo are also covered every issue in our “Shotgun

of the shooting industry.

be adjusted to conform to the actual
space used at current rates.
5. The publisher shall not be liable for any delay or failure to print, publish
or circulate all or any portion of any issue in which an advertisement

or omission for which it may be held responsible at law or in equity shall
not exceed the cost of the advertising space affected by the error. In no

special, or incidental damages, including, but not limited to, lost income
or profits.
6. Advertiser and agency represent and warrant that they are authorized to

defamation, libel, misappropriation, privacy or publicity rights, copyright
or trademark infringement, plagiarism, and from any and all similar claims
now known or hereafter devised or created.

and conditions stated herein will be binding on the publisher and to the
extent inconsistent with the terms herein, these terms and conditions shall
govern and supersede any such conditions.
8. The publisher has the continuing right to adjust its rate schedule and
will regard the failure of an order to correspond to the rate schedule
as a clerical error and will, without further communication, invoice the
advertiser based on rates in effect at that time.
9. The publisher will hold the advertiser and/or its advertising agency
jointly and severally liable for such monies as are due and payable to the
publisher. Please be advised that there is no “sequential liability” to the
publisher. Payment is due upon receipt of invoice. All payments must
be in United States currency. Advertiser and/or its advertising agency
are jointly and severally liable for all costs, fees and expenses (including
attorney or collection agency fees) incurred in connection with the

For advertisements prepared in InDesign and
QuarkXPress, place the page layout document
and all images (InDesign: use Package — Quark:
use Collect for Output­) in one folder. Collect all
the fonts, both screen and printer, used in the
document and place them in a folder labeled
“fonts” inside the document folder. It’s critical that
you supply all fonts used, even such common ones
as Times and Helvetica. Different versions of fonts
with the same name from the same foundry may
have different metrics or kerning pairs, and these
differences can cause type to reflow. We will use
your fonts exclusively for your ad.

Media:
Files can be sent via advertising materials portal*,CD, or by email (must not
exceed 5MB in size).*Upon completion of your upload to our advertising materials
portal, please contact your InterMedia advertising materials manager immediately to
let us know that your files are ready to download. Additionally, we will require a fax
copy of the ad for preliminary proofing purposes. If your ad is color, we will require an
acceptable color proof be shipped to us at the earliest date possible.
Advertising Materials Portal:
InterMedia Outdoors maintains an advertising materials portal to support
advertisers in the quick and easy electronic delivery of digital ad files. The
IMO Portal is a simple way to transmit large files over the internet. However,
content proofs are still required for electronically submitted ads (see Proof
Policy below for requirements). Please contact your InterMedia advertising
materials manager upon upload to the portal. Portal URL: http://imo.
sendmyad.com
Proofs:
A content proof should be submitted with every ad. All proofs should be at
100%. Proofs of full-page ads should include registration marks. For color
ads a properly calibrated, SWOP-certified proof with color bar should be
included for guidance on press. A list of SWOP-certified systems is available
at: http://swop.org/certifcation.html#cert. For ads submitted via email or FTP,
a low resolution PDF or JPEG file is acceptable in lieu of a hardcopy proof.
The PDF of JPEG file should be clearly labeled “Proof” to differentiate it from
the high resolution ad file.
Fonts:
We can only accept OpenType or PostScript Type 1 fonts. If TrueType fonts
are used, they must be converted to outline in Illustrator or a similar program,
or embedded within a PDF. Type must not have styles (bold, italic, etc.)
applied in the page layout program. The actual (bold or italic) font must be
selected.
Document Setup:
For full-page ads, your document page size should match the magazine page
size. Please include trim marks with 1/8” offset. Bleeds should extend 1/8”
beyond trim. Two-page ads must be created as two individual pages, not one
double-size page. Maximum one ad per document.
Images:
Photographic:
Should be saved in TIFF or EPS format, not JPEG, and must not contain extra
channels. The color space should be CMYK or Grayscale. The maximum ink
coverage (C+Y+M+K) should be no more than 300%. The effective resolution
of images should be between 240 and 400 dpi. Images should not contain
embedded transfer functions or halftone screens. Do not use ICC profiles or
other color management.
Linework:
Should be saved as a bitmap TIFF. Should have an effective resolution of
1200 to 2400 dpi.
Vector (EPS logos, etc.):
Images must be embedded, not linked. Fonts must be converted to outline
(preferred) or embedded within the EPS.
Do not place EPS files inside of EPS files.
Colors:
No RGB or Pantone. Must be CMYK. Total ink coverage must not exceed
300%. (Exception: if you have paid for a fifth color in your ad it must be a
Pantone set to Spot.)

Trim & Lap:
Absolute minimum lap is 3⁄8.” Lap
should be on low-folio side. Issues
will jog to the foot; therefore, 1⁄8”
will be trimmed off the foot of all
supplied inserts. No trim at gutter
(backbone). Final magazine size is
7 3/4” wide by 10 1⁄2” deep.
Live Matter:
Keep vital advertising material (type, logos, and important parts of photos) 1⁄2”
from final trim.
Perforation:
Perforation must be 60% paper, 40% hole. (If holes are too large, the cards may
tear apart during binding). Make sure your printer is aware of this specification.
Porosity Specs:
Inserts are fed by vacuum grippers. Insert stock should not be too porous for
proper feeding. Stock with excessive porosity will cause two or more inserts to
be picked up at one time (causing a premature depletion of supply); or it may fail
to pick up an insert at all. Our printer uses the Gurley Porosity Tester. It should
take at least 25 seconds to force 100ccs of air through the stock, using the Gurley
Tester. Your insert stock should be Gurley specified and be guaranteed to meet
the above minimum specifications.
Deadline:
Insertion order committing space must be at our office by closing date for a
specific issue to allow time for proper pagination, for postal requirements, and
for press information, etc. Inserts must be delivered by no later than the 20th of
the month.
Shipping & Packing:
Please advise your printer to follow the specs above. Ship to: Account Manager
- Wildfowl, Quad Graphics, West Allis Plant, 555 South 108th Street, West
Allis, WI 53214-1145. Blueline sample of insert must be provided to the
Production Manager for approval prior to printing.
Postal Requirements:
The U.S. Postal Service requires that any business reply mail be at least .007
inches thick (7-point stock). To get card rate, return portion of card should be
at least 3 1⁄2” by 5”, but not exceed 4 1⁄4” by 6”. All business reply mail must
comply with postal specifications.
