DALE EMERY
Owner, Trainer |
| Dale has been training dogs for hunting and obedience for over 26 years. He originally built Stonehearth Kennels for his own dog, but decided to expand its operation into a boarding and training facility. He visited larger kennels out of state and took the best ideas and incorporated them with his own as to how he wanted the kennels built. He built the kennels on 16 acres of land and added two ponds to have access to water training. The grounds are set up to teach young gun dogs (retrievers and pointers) concepts that they will encounter in the field. The large outdoor basic obedience compound is evenly lighted by high pressure sodium lights (HID) for night time training. Many of the retrievers and pointers Dale has trained have attained their AKC Master Hunter, Senior Hunter, and Junior Hunter test titles. Dale has had field trial dogs attain AKC Qualifing All Age status and compete in Open All Age as well. Dale has been very active with the Blackhawk Retrievers Club in the past and has held the titles of President, Vice President and Field Trial Chairman. He has won the Blackhawk Open, Qualifying, Kinike High Point Trophy and Hunters (ATH) trophies. Dale invites the Blackhawk annually to hold winter and summer training functions at the training grounds. Dale takes great pride in watching his customers attain obedience and gun dog titles. Our primary goal in training your dog is that you (the owner) are able to run your own dog and work together as a team. |
