Casey

Casey has been and avid outdoors-man since he was old enough to walk. He grew up hunting everything from big game to rodents. Casey's passion  has always been the the joy of man and dog hunting together. He receives more enjoyment out of watching, training and raising a good working dog then the act of hunting. He says the hunt is for the dog the act of hunting is for my pleasure and sanity. Casey has owned many working breeds from German Wirehair Pointers, Springer Spaniels, English Pointers, Chesapeake Bay Retrievers and many Labrador Retrievers. Casey truly adores Labradors and considers them to be the most versatile in the working breeds. Over the last 15 years Casey has realized that due to the practice of compulsion training for delivery to hand and the breeding of dogs with extreme hunt/prey drive that it is harder to find a Labrador physically conforming to the breed standard as well as having the demeanor, bid-ability and train-ability that the Labrador breed is known for. Casey has searched to find dogs that encapsulate both the physical aspects as well as the personality common place in the Labrador breed from the Labrador's conception.
