About Monday Lake Kennels

About Monday Lake Kennels

Monday Lake Kennels is a retriever and pointer training kennel whose history page is written in the

first person. It opens: "I started training retrievers in the summer of 1982 with a local trainer,

Dennis Maus, who had been a trainer for some 20 years." The page says that trainer "passed away in

1986," after which the writer "started to train part-time, training 20 to 25 gun dogs during the

summers and falls to follow until 1991, when I made the decision to train retrievers and pointers

full-time."

Focus

The stated commitment is narrow and clear: "I made a commitment to gun dog training for upland and

waterfowl. I try to get the most out of every retriever or pointer that I train." On method, the

page claims "a very efficient 'Retrieve to Hand' technique, that keeps the dogs tail wagging from

start to finish." One passage credits John with "a unique built system" the kennel will "show you

how to build to get your dog ready for this upcoming waterfowl season."

Competition record as the site states it

The page says "I started to run A.K.C. Hunt Tests in 1991" and that "Over the last 20 years of Hunt

Tests I have trained numerous Junior Hunters, Senior Hunters, Master Hunters, and Shoot-to-Retrieve

pheasant dogs."

Programs and breeding

The site map lists the training programs as Started, Advanced, Finished, Pointer and Just Obedience,

alongside pages for Trained Dogs for Sale and Puppies. On breeding, the page says "I have also been

breeding labradors for over 20 years. We usually have 3-4 proven litters per year." The contact

number published is (715) 790-9733.
