Hi Bill and Chris,

We wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know that Sami is doing great. You both did a great job training her. She has been doing great with all of us on healing, Sit, and Stay. She does get excited when she sees new people and we continue to work on that. She also is very good at coming when we say hear.

Thank you for the great work, she is so enjoyable to be with.

I have referred you a couple of people at my gym. Hopefully you will hear from them.

We will be in touch when we are going out of town to schedule Sami to visit.

Bill,
Took Bo to Killdeer Plains yesterday. He did pretty good for his first hunt. Wasn't quite sure what to do with those roosters at  first. Eventually (bird number 3) he flushed one and I shot it and he retrieved it. Thought you would enjoy they photos--we got 4 roosters and didn't start hunting there until noon.  Bruce and Bo........... 11/08/2009

 

Bill......You would have been proud yesterday...we a crippled goose go down about 125 yards out. Gave Kane a line and he was on him and he ran down the bird as it was running away trying to fly. I was very proud. It is amazing how much more confidence he gains on every retrieve... DeWayne     12/14/2008

 

When I first met Bill it was at his house where he put Sonny through some tests to see where he was at and to see if Sonny had some sort of retriever in him...Sonny passed and in my mind so did Bill. Shortly thereafter, Bill had Sonny full time in training. Sonny had some training scars left by my lack of knowledge and experience in training a retriever which included the most scariest of all...Sonny was scared of the water. It only took Bill a couple of training sessions to work this out of Sonny which included Bill getting in the water with him. Bill then took Sonny, who was scared of the water, all the way to his started title. My family and I attended Sonny’s final show in Indiana where Sonny received his HRC Started Title and where I got wet. Thanks again Bill for a job well done. See you in April when I will be dropping Sonny off for another round of training to bring Sonny to the next level.

Bill, a few pics from Grand Lake. Cody did far better than I could have hoped at this point. Thanks, Rick   10/26/2008

 This note is overdue...I've been having so much fun with my new well- trained and well-mannered puppy that I haven't had a minute to tell you and Chris, - Thank You!

Hamish is a listener! He is such a good boy now! He heeds his commands 99% of the time! And has mastered "down", because I actually work with him now! You helped me understand the importance of that and I
appreciate the training my family received as well!

Your Kennel and your training methods are unparalleled. You'll be seeing us again for sure!
Thank You!   Kerstin H.   2008
