Tim and Troy bring over 30 years of dog training experience to TNT Vermillion River Kennels. Their background in gun dog training and competition show in the quality of a well trained hunting companion.

Along with producing a great hunting or competitive dog, Tim and Troy have a special skill of working with the animal's owner to pass on the knowlege of handling their dog.

Patience, understanding and consistency are the qualities needed to gain the trust and respect of an animal, Tim and Troy apply these traits in their training programs.

When they are not training, you will find them competing at AKC or NAHRA Hunt Test events with their own loyal retrievers. They are also members of four different retriever clubs throughout Minnesota.
