Currently Mike is training a 3 year old Golden Retriever named Drake. Drake has ranked at the top of the 2010 novice rankings. Drake started his novice career at twenty-five months old with a bang. His first show was the Freeborn County KC in Albert Lea MN. Going 198.5+, which was good for a H.I.T.(Highest Scoring Dog in Trial). Drake showed every weekend starting August 14th and ending October 31st with the Oshkosh, WI trial. Drake turned out to be extremely consistent with scores ranging from 197 to 199.5 (out of 200), with an average of 198.5. Mike’s love of training and understanding of canine behavior has brought the best out in Drake with seven H.I.T.’s and twenty-one 1st places. He has now obtained his U.D.X. (Utility Dog Excellent) with the same type of accuracy he had in novice, picking up three more H.I.T’s.
