Dale started working with dogs along side his Grandfather, an avid Springer Spaniel man, at the age
of ten. His first pup was a Springer named "Sue". Dale recalls his Grandfather bringing pigeons out
to develop a strong bird drive in the pup. He also learned that by showing a dog what you want
(teaching) with a soft touch, rather than with harsh treatment, you could obtain a more positive level of
training. His grandfather also taught him that there are NO shortcuts in the teaching stages that would
allow you to shorten or more quickly advance to the conditioning stages of training no matter what
type of conditioning was going to be used. The foundation was everything. Dale trained many
different breeds of hunting dogs as kid growing up on his family farm, selling them as started hunting
dogs in the fall before Pheasant & Duck Season.
At the age of 18, Dale started to Professionally Train, Handle and Trial UKC Treeing Walker
Coonhounds, titling his first customers dog a Grand Night Champion in 1982. Many wins came over
that 4 year stretch, before switching back to Gundogs.
Dale purchased his first Labrador in 1986. A little black female out "The Marathon Man". Now for the
first time training with the more advanced concepts in Hunting Retriever Training, he quickly fell in
love with the challenge and rewards associated with the advanced concepts of Hunting Retriever
Training and started down the road of becoming a full time trainer.
Kris, grew up training and showing both pleasure and performance horses. She quickly was
exposed to the hunting dog world when she met Dale in 1984. At first she was the kennel and puppy
girl, throwing marks for the retrievers and planting birds for the pointing dogs in for training, feeding &
helping with shots, etc. & whelping out the litters. As the part time kennel grew thru the 90's to more
full time, Kris took a very active role in training and her gentle handed training techniques quickly
developed due to her extensive background with livestock. She continued training horses as well,
coaching their three daughters to win multi National Championships.
Today, Dale and Kris strongly believe that they should never stop learning or seeking a new and
better way to communicate what they want with the dogs. With that in mind, our training programs
are designed around time tested fundamentals while at the same time using advanced techniques
that work with your specific dog. No two dogs are alike and training must fit the individual to
accomplish the goals the owners have. Our goal at Premier Gundogs is to see our customers and
their dogs successfully working together as a team either in the field hunting or competing in
competitions of their choice. If our customers are successful then we have been successful.
Dale is a Pro Staff trainer for the Diamond Super Premium Dog Food Company, DT Systems
