Mark & Traci,

My family is completely blessed to have purchased one of Charlie and Herbie puppies.

Our dog “Chester” is a great all around pet, as a worker in the field and as a companion for our family.

Your 4 month training program was well worth the money. When I got Chester back after his training, I was completely amazed with his hunting abilities and what a 14 month old pup could actually do. I run a pheasant hunting operation here in South Dakota, so I needed a well trained dog and I got just that! When guiding this last fall, the hunters couldn’t believe he was only 15 months old, smart, disciplined, and full of energy.

Hunters shot more than 250 pheasants over Chester this fall and he loved retrieving every one of them.

As you can tell I am completely satisfied with this dog and I will be in touch with you about getting another one.

Thanks,
Talis Johnson, Lakodia Outfitters

Hello:
I have a dog out of your kennel. TLC'S KAMIKAZE'S APOLLO. This has got to be the best bird dog I have ever hunted with. From dove, duck, goose pheasant, and quail, he is a water dog deluxe and one of the best upland dogs to ever hit my area. I could have sold this dog a hundred times. Enough bragging, you know what I'm talking about! I'm looking for a female kennel mate and girlfriend for Apollo. I would love to breed him and retain his qualities in his puppies. I thought you may have puppies with his qualities and brains. Thank You.

Randy. Irwin

Hi Traci,

Thought you might enjoy seeing Buddy's latest retrieve. He was so proud!!!! The ducks have not yet migrated this year but the Swans are in. He got his first Swan.

Have a great Holiday Season,

Janelle Davis and Buddy

Dear TLC,
Well I got Duck from you a year an a half ago and he is just great he was hunting and retrieving at 6 months, everyone said not to expect to much out of him his first year since he was only 4 months old when season opened, well we went two months without seeing any birds here in western Nebraska so I took him to the east around Hastings and got him into some birds. and he was great by the end of season he had 35 retrieved and three times as many flushes. This year he's ever better at 1 and a half years old people are just amazed at him. I don't duck hunt much but I took him out once this year and my friends were just amazed at him, having never duck hunted we killed 6 birds and a goose and never had to get in the water he even went under searching for the goose and came up with it.
He is first my best friend and then my best hunting companion. He's spoiled rotten. Any ways we are thinking about getting a black female, but I'm not sure as to how Duck will take to that he is very jealous I can't even be on the phone with out him wanting my attention. I was wondering if someday (after it warmed up, and you had puppies if we might drop by and let him take a look at them and see how he does?, We don't have much for good bleeders out this way alot of backyard breeders whom I don't trust....After Duck I believe breeding might just be a science. I would love a female just like him. (I just don't know if my lap is big enough for two dogs). I'll enclose a photo of Duck, he's a great boy.
Well, thank you for a great friend, I look forward to see you guys again and maybe getting another puppy from you. Thank you so much
