I don't really know about their dogs, but I have known Chad for years. He has worked with some of my dogs, and run Hunt Tests with him. He is a great guy, and if his dogs are anything like him they will be good. I haven't really seen him since I moved to ND, so if you talk to him tell him. Mark, the guy with the French Brittany's says "Hi"

Chad got me started in hunt testing a long ways back. Quite a bit of Sharpshooter stuff. Tries a lot of different method and experiments. Chad is a good guy and a dog person. Don't know how much training he personally does anymore. They breed a lot of puppies. Pretty good dogs. Planning to breed to one of his studs. Not as good as mine but whose are. ......................................Cj

I have a Willow Creek pup, Breezy & Bomber were his parents. He is by far the best GSP I've ever had and I've had multiple trainers tell me the same. They have an excellent breeding program and Chad is a great dude. You tell him what you want/expect, he'll give you an honest assessment of which of his litters will be a good fit.

I did have my dog do his initial training at Willow Creek about 2ish years ago. The training program was pretty good and they got good results. I've since taken my dog back for some boarding/training and I wasn't as happy. To be fair Chad was gone in Texas for the winter when I boarded my dog, but I wasn't happy with how the operation was run with him gone...could be an isolated incident.

In conclusion, I'll buy purchasing my future dogs from Willow Creek as long as their around...I'm not sure if I'll use them again for training.

Chad produces some nice dogs. Our newest pup is sired by Chads Honker Man bred to a female out of two of our VC's JJ and Cage. Kate is a very nice pup . lots of point retrieve, bold , cooperative, yet independent and good looking. Don't know anything about his operation.

Kate 49 days old.
