Very nice people, excellent facility, very professional and quality dogs. I love the puppy I purchased from them.
Amazing Breeder and Trainer. The only Kennel we use.

It takes a lot for me to write a review; good or bad. I've spend the better part of 2 years as a customer. Rick took the time to understand that I wanted a dog with a lot of hunting drive as I hunt birds (ducks and pheasants) 25 to 30 days a year. I also wanted a dog with hunt test potential should I decide to pursue that. Lastly, I wanted the dog to have an off switch (don't we all) I got exactly what I wanted for a dog. Equally as good in the field and in the house. Even more importantly, I went to both puppy lessons that Rick offered and followed his instructions religiously when I got back home. The pup was off to a great start before I sent him back for obedience, collar conditioning and intro to birds after which he had a hunting season that did not disappoint (at 10 months). I send him back to Rick this summer to do all his advanced work (multiple marks, handling, blind retrieves, etc...). I ended up with the bonus of a dog that have very good hunt test potential should I choose to pursue that. Not only did he train him but he was always willing to let me come down, use his grounds and learn from him which is something he certainly didn't have to do.
Great place. Got a British lab pup that was really good. Great family dog and even better hunter. Had so much drive. Made the longest water retrieve I have ever witnessed, in really windy conditions. Just awesome.
