I'm looking for an established, successful FT trainer for my new pup. I have a few I like but they are far from my home. Looking in NY, NJ, CT or RI. Any leads in those states would be appreciated
All good choices, but Rick is the only one I would consider a NE pro. Alan takes a summer trip to the Tug Hill region from about the National Am until the end of September-ish. The rest of the time he is down here. Ed spends his summer between Schenectady and Syracuse, winter down in Hartsville and the rest of the time in DE. The Millheims are in NY but winter Jan-April down in Cheraw area. So, if you pick any of them, your dog will be in the neighborhood at least in for a few months. Let me know if you come visit.
Also, since Malcolm left, Alan doesn't do as much with the young dogs, so unless you are going to go with a young dog pro, he might be a better choice when you see what you have. Both Ed and Rick do young dogs.

well our NE states are so small, Lois Monroe is in south east NH. Is that out of your loop?
Heart and Soul Retriever I think is her name. She does well.
I watched Louis run down in Westchester, she was very good. Her dogs were impressive and they all finished well - She has a nice Yellow named Christian that just QAA.
Shhhh, Josie, don't tell everyone about Jason. But, if they look at your site they will see he is the leading Derby pro in the country.
Also, it seems like he Qualifies a dog or two every weekend. Just saying!!!!
Don Little would be a good choice! Don is in Kingston Ont just across the thousand Island bridge. Don has produced over fifty FC's one of them was Waldorfs High Teck the sire of Lean Mac. Contact Number is 613 389 9495
Pcarpenter - sent you a PM with Ed's cell & yes, he's still training retrievers.
