Mike
Pirtle has enjoyed training gun dogs professionally for 23 years. He
spent the first 4 years training with Hoppy Hopson at Hoppy's Kennel
near Decatur, Texas.
Hoppy absolutely set the standard for
what a "finished dog" should be, in both field trial dogs and
hunting dogs.
Mike is one of the few trainers able to finish a dog that would meet Hoppy's high standards.
Mike continues to train dogs with the techniques that he learned from Hoppy, producing fine gun dogs for the bird hunter and field trial dogs for the amateur handler.
