I saw a post on another veteran site about a guy training hunting dogs for veterans. I had just started waterfowl hunting and came to love it right away. So sent Terry a message that I was interested and became one of the lucky ones to receive Vader on January 9th, 2019. He instantly became part of the family. Not a day goes by that he is not excited to practice retrieving or getting his belly rubbed, it is a toss-up on which is his favorite! He loves my wife more than me now and is always playing with our girls. I love the excitement he has at 3 am when we get to head out to the blind. His natural desire to retrieve along with Terry's remarkable training have hunted a 100 times more joyous for me. I can't thank Terry and everyone at Retrievers for Warriors Enough for the work they have done and are doing!
