Bob Burchett
May 31st, 2001
I dropped Ruby off in Argyle, Iowa for the start of her training. The trainer I selected is Bob Burchett (Burchett’s Bird Dogs; 319-838-2822 .) Bob came highly recommended to me from several members of the LaSalle Brittany Club.
His reaction to meeting Ruby and the way he has the facility set up leaves me confident it will be a good experience for her. I can’t wait to get back and see her in a month!

My first visit with Ruby after a month or so of training was great! She really looks good and seems to be taking to the training. Though Bob did say she barks alot. 🙂
Another trip to Argyle to see Ruby. She really ran well, found a lot of Birds and even honored a few times. For less than a year old I think she is doing awesome. Bob is really good with the dogs and that was great for my wife to see.
I’ve made a few trips to Argyle, but this week I went out and saw Ruby run with the handlers on horseback. She ran bigger than I imagined she would, and Bob was enthusiastic to keep her a bit longer as he thinks she has real potential. I’ll give it a go and see what happens.
Well I got in a bit of hot water at home for leaving her. So i went back this week to pick up Ruby as it seems she’s not just my hunting dog but also the fourth child in the family. 😛
My youngest went with me to ensure that I returned with her. He had a great time riding horses when we were running her on Saturday. Ruby garnered lots of positive reviews and I’m really pleased with the work Bob did with her. But I’m glad to have her home! Definitely will take her back next summer for some more work.
