Dear Friends,I would like to take a moment to introduce myself and tell you about my dogs and training style.My name is Tom Hamilton. Sincerely,
Tom Hamilton
(27)

I was born and raised in eastern Iowa. Upon graduating from high school, I left Iowa to serve in the United States Air Force. I served 21 years and retired in August 1999. While stationed at Alconbury, England in 1986, I started training my first Labrador retriever.One day afield, I met a man by the name of Robin Laud. He is a well-known professional gundog trainer, a member of the English Nationa

l Gundog Team, and a “Class A” field trial judge. Through him I was able to meet, train, and compete with many other top professionals in England for four years.Because of my friendships with top breeders and handlers, I learned a lot about English style training. This made me a serious competitor in English field competitions. As a result of my success in competition and friendships I had made, the best kennels wanted me to bring their dogs back to America. So now Bracken Fen Gundogs offers you not only great English style training, but also some of the very best English bred Labrador retrievers in North America. The dogs I own have been selected for trainability, intelligence, looks, stamina, style, steadiness, and of course, hips/eye scores. All dogs are registered with the American Kennel Club. English methods of training are far more positive. No force training, no force fetch, no electric collars, etc. English methods employ tasks the dog can easily achieve, then the tasks are gradually made more difficult. By training with this method, you’ll end up with a dog that’s very happy to work as well as more consistent. Once you’ve been exposed to English Labradors, you will see they are not only great Gundogs, they are outstanding companion dogs as well. This is very important, as we have to live with our dogs most of the year when there is no hunting season. I hope this gives you some idea of my experience and devotion to training and breeding the very best English Labradors in North America.

When Tom Hamilton first began training a young Labrador retriever while stationed in Alconbury, England, he found a passion for dogs that would last a lifetime. While there, he got the opportunity to work with a renowned gundog trainer who helped Tom develop a specialization in English-style training and forge friendships with breeders and handlers that would grant him a competitive edge. Now, Tom takes pride in offering obedience and hunting training to dogs back at home with an English touch. His positive reinforcement method means happier dogs, and ultimately, happier owners.
