Higgin's training
« on: December 10, 2013, 12:24:23 PM »
Has anyone used Butch Higgins for their dog's training? I am getting a female lab in the spring and looking at putting her up for a couple of months with a pro. I trained my last lab myself (1/1 on JH Pass before I had to sell him ) but don't have the time for that this time around.

Looking for a pro who has a well established program with proven results.

Thanks for your help!!!

Butch is a stand up guy who won't do you wrong.

Thanks, my friend's dad is getting a male out of Butch's female, Kate in December and sending him back next year.

Is that Kate bred to Cynthia Tallman's National Field Trial Champion Emmitt?

Butch spent some time with my 2 1/2 year old female lab doing a tune up in August. She came back looking great and well trained. I watched him do a day long training with a lot of dogs. I was very impressed. He is firm, fare, and gentle with the dogs. I am sending my Boykin puppy to him after hunting season.  If I recall correctly he ran more dogs at the AKC hunting test in Carnation last August than anyone.

They train about as good as the catch fish. At least once and a while their dogs do something right. Sunday 7 am fishing 10 am training- :)
