Sid

4 year old German Shorthair

Daughter X CH-Odyssey Samuel, owned by Hank Reid of Black Water Duck Shooting Preserve, MO

It has been a pleasure working with Hank who recently purchased Sid and has had 2 other talented labs in training with us in our summer program.

I have had pointing dogs most of my life, but decided that I wanted to do more duck hunting and still have a good upland dog.

After researching, I decided that I would get a Boykin Spaniel. I completed basic obedience but did not feel comfortable doing the gun or initial bird work.

I took my Spaniel "Buddy" to Ray to complete this very, very important work.

I was a bit worried as Spaniel's accept training very differently than Labs and Shorthairs.

My worries were very much unfounded! Within two months, Ray had Buddy where he was in no way afraid of the gun, flushing birds and retrieving birds that were shot over him.

I happen to live several blocks away from Ray and would pick my dog up to spend Sundays at my home. The best testament that I have about Ray is that when I took my dog back on Monday morning, he was always extremely happy to see Ray and get back in his kennel.

He obviously loved being there!

"Chip will find anything that's been knocked down! His desire is AWESOME, as well. I was really worried about that when I brought him to you, but when the camo comes out, he goes nuts!!!"
