Bally's Gun Dogs

Bally's Gun Dogs is a small family kennel in Tomah, WI focused on producing Labrador Retrievers that work in the field, duck blind, and home. Every dog lives in the house as part of the family—not in kennels.

Adam's credentials come from hands-on success: he trained his chocolate lab Stetson to pass four senior hunt tests at 14 months and win multiple upland events. He's apprenticed with professional trainers at Old Oak Kennels in Minnesota under Rick McConico and with Andy Attar of Autumn Run Retrievers. Cortney grew up showing dogs in 4-H obedience competition.

• •Puppies in chocolate, yellow, and black—placed into hunting homes since 2009

Adam trains full-time with 20+ years of hunting experience and formal apprenticeships. The kennel's own property outside Franklin, TX (purchased 2016) allows year-round optimization for competitive dogs.

They work with hunters seeking family companions, hunt test competitors, and field trial prospects. Training availability varies seasonally—contact them directly for current spots.
