“It’s a rare combination,when you find a breeder-trainer that has the knowledge and dedication that produces not only world class field dogs,but dogs that are suitable for the home and children as well.” His English labs are perfect for either and if you choose to have him train your dog regardless of breed or task,you will come away more than satisfied”

“John is extraordinary. He has a gift with both dogs and people that never ceases to amaze me. It is always a delight to have him picking up on any of our driven shoots – so much so that often I forget the real show is supposed to be the pheasants and the shooting. Just to watch him simultaneously and invisibl handle four to five retrieving dogs on a shoot day is a sight you can’t forget.”
~ Robert Allen, Highbrighton Farm, Charlottesville, VA
Best experience I have ever had with a dog trainer. John does an amazing job working with his dogs. He trained my Lady and she is not only my daily companion but the best hunting dog I have ever had. I highly recommend them.
