Dale Parker, Jackson Creek Kennel owner

I have been a “dog guy” all my life. I started training dogs about 20 years ago. I was having so much fun that I turned a hobby into a lifestyle, into a thriving business. I finally got the perfect place to board, train, and breed dogs. They have room to run and just be a dog. I have been a hunting guide at Rocky Mountain Roosters, Colorado’s premier pheasant hunt preserve, for over 10 years. I have put my dogs on more birds in a week than many will see in a lifetime. Between guiding and my own wild bird excursions I may hunt as many as 70 times a year.
