When dog games were at the top. So fortunate to have caught the tail end of that era of dog men. Will never forget Mr Wilfred McAnsepy, Mr John Pritchard, Mr Charles“Pops” Campo, Dr Ernie Cook, D**k Samuels and the others that not only had good dog sense, but were just awesome people!!

Some great dog men that are unfortunately not with us anymore. These men were the welcoming faces of Pontchartrain HRC and made the dog games enjoyable! So thankful to have met them 25 years ago 🦆

Two of the OGs who are now retired with us, “Tide” (Qual Placements/JAMs) and HRCH “Gypsy” MH (Qual JAM). Seems like yesterday they were 7 week old puppies. Thanks to Donnie Fitzgerald and Jim Morris for trusting us with multiple dogs over the years and letting these two retire with us!

Many years ago working with Marine K9 teams! The real deal when I came to people/characters and dog training

About 15-16 years ago in Afghanistan. No title or ribbon I’ve earned will ever compare to the lives saved by those dogs I got to train. 🇺🇸
