Our Expert Team – The Linblades

Charlie Linblade isn't just a name in the hunting world; he's a legend. As a life member of the North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association (NAVHDA), Michigan United Conservation Clubs (MUCC), and the National Rifle Association (NRA), Charlie's influence is far-reaching. His methods, centered around positive reinforcement training, have set the bar high in the industry, creating an environment where dogs thrive and hunters succeed. Charlie’s training ensures that dogs work to gain praise, not to avoid punishment, resulting in a team of well-mannered and well-trained dogs eager to enhance your hunting experience.

Joining him is his son, Chuck Linblade, who has been entrenched in the family business from a young age.
