Troup
My name is Dave Troup. My wife Deb and I
reside in Goshen Indiana which is just south of the Michigan border,
I have worked as a senior manufacturing engineer for a major corporation
for 25+ years in the Goshen area.
In the fall of 2001 I was searching for that
perfect hunting companion, a dog that would want to make my friends
put their dogs back in the truck. I have had hunting dogs for
the better part of my life, but this was to be my first pointing
dog. I did my homework on the Internet, and checked in with people
who knew who was hot in the pointing dog world. My search led
me to Steve Ries and Top Gun Kennel. I then purchased my first
personal pointing dog and life as I knew it changed. To make a
long story short she accomplished NAVHDA Natural Ability prize
2 at 10 months, AKC Junior Hunter title at one year, and AKC Master
Hunter title at 23 months.
I have since trained and put Master titles
on 2 of our personal dogs, and in the past year, became an AKC
hunt test judge. All 5 of our dogs have prized in NAVHDA natural
ability tests. We have very high expectations and our dogs deliver.
Deb. and I live in the country, and have
numerous training grounds available close to home. Also we have
access to clean ponds for water work, and a steady supply of training
birds available year round. Our newer Kennel facilities have 6
indoor kennels that are heated, all with connecting outdoor runs.
Along with this we have a fenced in run area for exercise in-between
training sessions.
I can train your personal hunting companion
anywhere from a started dog through a finished dog or anything
in-between that meets your personal requirements. I can train
and handle your dog to an AKC title if you so desire. We can also
provide fall tune-ups to get your partner ready for the upcoming
hunting season.
Our kennel participates in AKC hunt tests,
NAVHDA tests, NASTRA trials and an occasional, NBDCA or UFTA field
trial.
