Background
Chris and his missus Eileen run Flatlander Kennels out in Western Nebraska. He's been training dogs for more than 20 years and turned full-time pro in 2000. Flatlander Kennels is all about training retrievers for hunting, HRC and AKC hunt tests, and the odd field trial. Chris has trained over 20 GRHRCHs, more than 100 HRCHs, over 50 MHs and 6 QAA dogs. Chris is mad about waterfowl hunting and you'll often find him chasing ducks and geese along the North Platte river during autumn and winter.
