Gun dog owner and hunter for twenty five years.  

I live and work in beautiful northern Wisconsin.  With lakes and woods all around me, I find many opportunities to indulge my passion for the outdoors.   Occasionally, I travel to hunt, as I did for this Pope & Young record book cougar taken in British Columbia.  Each winter I spend a few weeks in south Texas quail hunting, giving me a slight reprieve from our northern winters.  Autumn in my home state often finds me in a tree stand with my bow, looking for that big buck.  

The things I enjoy most are also my business, from horses, hunting and dogs to writing, art and photography.  In addition to my Labradors, Abby & Meg,  I have a  Chesapeake Bay Retriever named Grizz (Thanks to Butch Goodwin!)  a Brittany named Cody (Huntsmith's Code Red), a Treeing Walker Coonhound named Jack; and a Jack Russell Terrier called (of all things!) Russell.  

I am currently close to completing my first book, titled "Train Your Bird Dog With Rick Smith", and have also enjoyed success giving Puppy Seminars for Bird Dogs.  Traveling with Rick Smith to assist with his popular Bird Dog Training Seminars has given me the opportunity to travel the country and abroad, including New Zealand.  I've made many new friends all across the globe, and am grateful to Rick for the many opportunities he's provided as well as for his friendship.
