1. Experience

   We are Tim and Jo Anne Harris, trainers / owners of Rug-ged Retrievers. We each have over 35 years experience training, competing, and breeding dogs. We have trained dozens of dogs at every level of the Retriever Hunt Test and Field Trial programs, including over 30 Master Hunter titled retrievers, several Master National Finalists, Qualified All Age Retrievers and the 2015 NAGDA National Pheasant Champion.
2. Passion

   Over the years we have seen dog trainers come and go. Many will do this for a couple of years then quit. We started training and competing with dogs over 35 years ago. What began as a hobby soon became our passion. That passion became Rug-ged Retrievers! Thirty five years later we are still here, still training and still just as passionate as we were when we first started!
3. Teamwork

   Building a strong relationship with you and your dog are key factors in developing a great team. As the trainers / owners we have a vested interest in your continued success. The care of your dog, helping you achieve your goals, and paying attention to details are our top priorities. The majority of our clients have been with us for several years. Many since we opened our doors.
