About Rainmaker Labs
Rainmaker Labradors started with my first purebred
Labrador in 1998, Riverside's Hunter Hudson, Senior
Hunter.  I had no idea what I had in store when I picked out
that little chocolate puppy at the age of three weeks and
then brought him home at seven weeks.  I had bought
Richard Wolters' book, Game Dog, and followed it step by
step until at 6 months of age, Hudson was quite the trained
dog, sit, heel, come, steady as a rock to gunshot and hand
delivering bumpers.  Until we took him hunting real birds for
the very first time.  Then reality set in as we chased him
over 40 acres of flushing roosters and I sought the help of
a professional trainer, John Flink of Monday Lake Kennels
in  Sarona, Wisconsin.  From there, we were launched into
a whole new world which belonged primarily to the AKC
Hunt Test. While I got my start with Richard Wolters' books
and tapes, I feel beginners particularly, will benefit from
either having their dog professionally trained or working
with a pro or experienced person as well as utilizing training
sources such as the many tapes and books available.  A
puppy class and basic obedience class will do wonders for
any dog, even if it is meant solely as a pet and companion
and not a hunter.
We've come a long way since Hudson's puppyhood and
learn more every day. Dog training is a never-ending
journey and each dog is different. We have puppies all
over the United States as well as Canada and have met
and made many new friends through our dogs. We look
forward to many more years of living with Labradors!
Hudson, the start of it all.
