Mike Tracy
Glenville, PA
Background
Mike Tracy was born into the Field Trial World. Starting at the early age of 7, barely as tall and certainly not as strong as the English Pointer male named Andy he handled, he took second place in a local Amateur Derby stake. At age 10, Mike won the Pennsylvania Open Puppy Award with an English Pointer sheila, Alice. When he was 13, he won the Pennsylvania Open Shooting Dog of the Year Award. In his adult years, Mike has won heaps of championships including the Keystone Open, Shooting Dog Championships, Purina Shooting Dog Handler of the Year 7 times, and stacks more. He serves on the Board of Directors of the National Dog Futurity and is a member of the Indianatown Gap Bird Dog Club.
Mike is relaxed and easy-going in his training style. He likes classy dogs that are smart and have good snouts. He especially looks for trainable dogs that can be shaped into top gun dogs.
Why I Use SportDOG Brand
I like the SportDOG products because of their consistent stimulation whether at 100 metres or about 800 metres range. Their products are easy to use and very reliable.
