Testimonials
"When you give your dog to Bob for training and handling you know it will get attentive care at his kennel in Argyle. The kennels are modern and kept clean and sanitary. Nearby training grounds allow Bob to work in his positive way to bring each dog to its performance potential. As clients, we have always felt welcome when visiting his kennel or joining him for training sessions. FC/AFC Upland Acres Overland Express is currently being campaigned by Bob and FC/AFC Upland Acres Prairie Du Chien, now retired, was also campaigned by Bob."

Diana & Jeremy Branch
"Bob has given me three great field champions, a Futurity winner, two national placements, a national award, a horse to ride behind my dogs, lots of good advice, and friendship. All my dogs have been kept in excellent health and top condition. What else can you ask of your trainer? Although they had good breeding, it was Bob's training that made them the field dogs they became."
Phil Corlew
“Being new to field trials and bird dog training, I couldn’t have picked a better guy to train my dog. When you chose Bob to be your bird dog trainer you will immediately see how much he truly cares for the dogs and his clients. His patient training style was exactly what I was looking for. The dogs stay stylish, they keep their personality and they have fun throughout the process. You will also see the passion Bob has for his clients. Whether you are a hunter or field trialer, he goes above and beyond to ensure that the dogs and you are both trained.”
Adam Freeman
“After 40+ years of bird dog training, hunting, field trialing, and friendship, I know Bob well. Unlike most in any career, even after all this time, Bob maintains the passion, work ethic, skill, care, and knowledge to bring the best out in your bird dog.
Bob has trained, handled, and succeeded at the field trials with countless dogs, that I have bred, owned, started, trained, or had something to do with. The amount of enjoyment and success I've experienced over the years has been propelled by Bob's training program.
I have and do highly recommend Burchett's Bird Dogs.”
Jeff Hoskins
"Over the last 10 years, I've had Bob train 5 Brittanys for me. I've competed with all of them and have a total of 150 placements in Field Trials as well as a National Championship Placement. He's the hardest working Professional I know, and every dog he's trained loves him
- one of mine even jumped a fence just to get to him to say hello. There's nobody I trust more with my dogs."

Bob is most passionate about sharing his knowledge with his canine owners. whether your dog is to be a personal foot hunting dog or a competitive field trial dog, Bob gives 100% to every client. I am not aware of any client who does not consider Bob a trusted friend.”
