Next Generation GunDog Training
Southern Minnesota
Background
Andrew Barbouche and business partner Adam Levy own Next Generation GunDog Training in southern Minnesota. Next Generation GunDog Training is a full service retriever training facility focusing on AKC hunt test and gun dog training. We train retrievers for hunt tests, tournament hunting and for top-notch gun dogs. Andrew has been a keen outdoorsman since he was a nipper, hunting everything from turkeys in Iowa to waterfowl in Saskatchewan. Adam's been a hardcore hunter his whole adult life, chasing big game all over the country and waterfowl from NY to Canada. Training retrievers to become the best mate a hunter could want or to snag the prestigious Master Hunter title is why we're flat out training dogs every day. Andrew's first retriever snagged his master hunter title at 3 years old and qualified for the 2011, 12, 13 and 14 masters national. Next Generation GunDog Training also puts a lot of effort into breeding healthy and trainable Labrador and Chesapeake Bay Retrievers.
