About 6 months ago I started looking for someone to start my dogs. I had a couple of people get back with me but no one that was doing what I was looking for. I finally put a post up that said that I know that I would have to do some traveling and got a reply back from a man that uses the handle Lab. He sent me a post and we started posting back and forth until I finally commetted on a date of the month of april, First of all I live in Indiana and he lives in Missouri. So we left IN on a Friday morning around 3:30 am. We reached his pen around 12:30 he walked us around the pen and explained what he was going to attempt to do. I left him 4 pups and headed back to IN. After he had the dogs for about 3 days he gave me a post and said that my first dog was running her own rabbits. A week later he posted me back and told me he had 2 dogs running and 2 dogs that needed work and he would get back with me. I have several buddies at work that was interested in the progress of my pups. So I would print out my post and take them to work and hang them on the bulletin board. After the 4 weeks was up we went down there to get our pups and listened to the stories that lab had about our dogs and the issues that he had with one of the pups and getting her to start. We had one pup that went into heat so we could not run all the dogs together. We took the dogs into the pen and within 10 minutes they had there first rabbit up and going. They circled it 2 times before it holed up. We then took the pup that was in heat and got the little male and was off againg. We walked to the far end of the pen and one of the dogs was checking in a brush pile we seen the rabbit take off. The dogs picked up on this and they were off to the races. I was very happy to see that he got all 4 dogs running and packing up in the time that he had spent with them. He told me some sad news that we were going to be the last dogs that he was going to train in that 15 acre pen. But there is silver linning to the story and that is that lab is going to continue to start dogs at a 2 acre pen that is behind his house. If you all are looking for someone that treats your dogs right, keeps you updated and doesnt feed you a line of Bull crap then you need to look lab up and let him start your dogs for you. Even though he is over 6 hours away I dont regret taking the trip. I got what I was looking for and made a new friend in the process

Thanks again Lab
