Gone but not forgotten
You cannot go wrong with Rick Stawski, Fine Line Retrievers, in Milaca, MN. He can take you and the dog where you want to go. He trains in FL / GA in the Winter and MN in the Spring / Summer.
Adam Bally trains in south east mn and I think some in Iowa in Texas for the winter. His wife is on here as ballysgundogs
Thank you for your suggestions, I plan to follow up with a few contacts.
"Any suggestions for young dog trainers in the midwest? Currently have a 12 wk old puppy and trying to plan ahead. My main focus would be in hunt tests. "
If your looking for a young dog trainer, my grand daughter is 11 and she is pretty good at training dogs. Don
Tera Lanczak from BayBlue Kennels. She is in Michigan (summer) Texas (winter).
Great for basics whether it be FT or HT(all the same) Basics is Basics.

Rick bullock has recently went pro focusing on young dogs. Located just south east of Des Moines. I think his business is red rock retrievers
You can also look up Matt Johnson. From Duckwater Retrievers. Located in MN Texas in winter. He had a good year last year both in FT and HT. He does young dogs and has good quality care.
His clients are always very happy.
Todd, Arrowhead Kennels in Hudson IA. I have another one going to him at the end of the month.
