Tom and I met through our local retriever club.  We take great pride in the fact that we are owner/handler & Trainers of our dogs.   We haven't ever sent a dog off for any type of training.  All the mistakes we have made with the dogs have been made by us.  Thank gosh we have goldens that are so forgiving. 

All of our dogs are our hunting companions as well.  From a hunting honeymoon in North Dakota to local hunts in our back yard.  We enjoy each other as well as our dogs. The all live in the house with us.

Tom really focuses on Hunting and AKC Hunt Tests and Field Trials. I will play any game with dogs when time allows. However my 1st love is also the field. We are both AKC Judges. We are both members of the following clubs KRC/PVGRC/GRCA. I am also a member of OTCH/YCDTC.
