Decades of Trust, Excellence, and Care

“I have known Woody and Judy for over 20 years. There are no finer folks. They have my total trust with any dog sent to Twin Lakes for training. The dogs that go to Twin Lakes are worked in drills. Don't expect your dog to come home fat. Working dogs need to be in top physical condition. The most powerful thing about Woody is that his dog work to their...

Orry Frye, Proud Owner of “Boone” and “Sadie.”

I just wanted to send y’all an update on how our puppy Boone is doing. He is from the Snatch/Honey litter and he looks just like his father. He’s just over six months old now and he’s panning out to be a wonderful hunt dog.

I began shooting around him just recently and from the very beginning he was fearless. He didn’t even blink an eye when the shots were fired. He just looks straight ahead waiting to be released.

John Scanlon MD, FAAP. Owner of 8 Master Hunter retrievers

”I have known Twin Lakes Kennel and Woody Thurman for more than 20 years. Woody is a superb dog trainer and teacher about retriever training. Twin Lakes is an extraordinary facility. Their puppies come from the finest hunting and field trial/hunt test stock. All will have clean genetic pedigrees. Most importantly, Woody is an honest, straightforward man who will tell you both the strengths and weaknesses of any dog he sells or you wish to have evaluated. I would stake my own reputation on this.”

Bob Ripley, former Rules Committee Chairman for the AKC Retriever Hunt Test program. Gloucester, Virginia

“For 11 years it was my distinct honor and privilege to serve as chairman of the rules committee for the AKC Retriever Hunt Test program. During that time I got to meet many professional retriever dog trainers all across the United States. Woody Thurman, whom I have known for more than 20 years, was and is my favorite. He is an extremely intelligent, honest, hard working and trustworthy man.

Read what Mindi says about her new puppy, Piper.

I wanted to say thank you, again, for putting up with me during the puppy process! You all were so sweet to send pictures and answer my questions, and I thoroughly enjoyed meeting and working with you. “Piper” is settling in wonderfully! You were also right about how smart she would be! Piper learned “sit” on her second day home, and I can tell that she is already picking up on some of the “getting around” terms I use with Bauer like “this way” to redirect her course. I’m so excited to watch her really start learning!

April and her family are loving Guage, their new Lab.

I just wanted to send y’all a quick note updating you on our sweet Gauge that we picked up back in May (Snatch x Raven). It’s hard to believe that he’s 8 months old and is already going on his first hunts! Here are a few pics of him. You can see how he’s developed. He’s beautiful and is so agile and LOVES to hunt. His drive is unbelievable and he’s surpassed all of our expectations with how smart he is. We hope that you are all doing well and thank you, once again, for our amazing dog.

Intentional. Impressive. Instinctive.

“We picked up our little guy last week and were very impressed by how intentional they are about raising healthy puppies. Ours is sweet and snuggly - two characteristics you don't often find in a MasterHunter lineage gun dog! He has been my shadow and has already learned so much. Can't wait to see him grow into his birthright and chase so.e ducks!”
