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 tests and gundog training. We train retrievers for hunt tests, tournament hunting and for high-end gundogs. Andrew has been an avid outdoorsman since a very young age, hunting everything from turkeys in Iowa to waterfowl in Saskatchewan. Adam has been a die-hard hunter his entire adult life, hunting big game all over the country and waterfowl anywhere from NY to Canada. Training retrievers to become the best retriever a hunter could ask for, or to achieve the coveted Master Hunter title, is why we train dogs day in and day out. Andrew’s first retriever received his master hunter title at 3 years old and qualified for the 2011, 12, 13 and 14 masters national. Next Generation Gundog Training also focuses on breeding healthy and trainable Labrador and Chesapeake Bay Retrievers.
