We would like to welcome Patrick LaPorte, our new professional, full-time dog trainer here at the Rooster Ranch. Patrick has been a familiar face here at the Ranch for several years helping us to guide hunts, and we are excited to bring his expertise into our training/breeding program.
Patrick grew up in the Bay City/Essexville area where he enjoyed an abundance of waterfowl in the region and was hooked on hunting from the age of 12. He purchased his first lab at the age of 18 and has been upland and waterfowl bird training for over 35 years now. He is versed in many breeds including retrievers, setters and pointers.
He began running hunt tests 10 years ago, and has trained AKC Junior, Senior and Master Hunter levels and titles. Whether your dog needs training from the ground up, or a simple refresher course, Pat can help you take your dog to the next level of being a great companion/bird dog.
The Rooster Ranch features a heated, full service kennel on site for dogs that are here for board/train programs (proof of current vaccines/rabies/bordetella required). Started and finished dogs available from time to time, or by request.
