Background
Bob has worked with gun dogs all of his life. Whether it was chasing rabbits and quail in Western Kentucky as a boy, wading the backwaters hunting ducks in Illinois, or walking the fields of Kansas pushing roosters, it just seemed right to Bob to hunt behind a good dog. Now he trains retrievers for competitive retriever events and for the field. The United Kennel Club and Hunting Retriever Club hunt tests have become his games of choice.
