I am looking for a few recommendations for a trainer in Washington. I am thinking about sending my pup to get trained a little bit better than i can do myself. So if you know a good trainer, or you are a good trainer let me know and maybe we can figure something out.

R.J. Marquart, Quicksilver kennels near Otehelo.

Dan Hoke, don't remember his kennel name right off but he is just a bit west of Spokane. Goole them and I think you'll find them. If I was to send a dog out to be trained, either of these guy's would more than fill the bill.

Ah, that is for pointing dogs.

I got him out of tiger mountain and i had some issues with the owner, he went through their puppy headstart class already and that helped tremendously getting this pup bird crazy, But there are some things that bugged me that i wont mention here. I have a call in to dunfur and quicksilver kennels.

I met hoke the other week and he is a very nice guy. Looks like his kennels are top notch also.

Both Dan, Dunfur Kennel and Charles, Wildrose Kennels have good dogs ! The ones we have in S Africa from these guys are really good.

They have also been around for ever and have experience I believe. to help with any problem my it be dog or handler.
