Gary Bethel has been training retrievers for hunting and competition since 1966. Gary has successfully competed in hunting dog field events for many years and five years ago retired from competition and now trains gun dogs only. Having been a hunter for 60+ years and having been fortunate to hunt over and own way more than his share of high quality gun dogs he knows exactly what a good gun dog should do and should not do.

Gary has developed and designed a program for family gun dogs and attempts to produce the ideal family pet that is also a very high end dog in the field.  The entire process from selecting a dam and matching a sire all the way through training is with that goal in mind.
