Testimonials

Purchased a started French Brittany from a breeder in the Midwest. He assured me the dog would hunt. The breeder did NOT tell me she was gun shy!!! I worked for a year myself hoping to correct the aversion, to no avail. Todd took Rosey this past summer…. He worked slowly and consistently exposing her to birds ! Todd’s patience has paid off for her! This month she has held points on Wild roosters and retrieves! She loves her new found careers! We thank you Todd , Kaylen, and ILa!
