Biography:

Picture
As a child, I read many books that focused on hunting dogs, I think my favorite was "Big Red" by Jim Kjelgaard.  Since that time, hunting behind dogs has always been my goal and passion.  Unfortunately, during my youth, I did not have a true, bird hunting role model nor the environment typical to promote such, so my hunting with a dog was limited to a mutt or two and a lab.  When the time came, I started with shorthairs.  I firmly believe that a dog should be proven on the bench and in the field.  I personally AKC bench championed two shorthairs.  I actively trained and tested with NAVHDA.  And, I was pursuing AKC hunt tests with my GSP dogs.  One day, out of curiosity, I called about a strange breed of dog that I found in the back of a Gun Dog  magazine. Needless to say, that curiosity got me hooked and my love for the breed is strong.
