Craig Klein has loved dogs and the outdoors for as long as he can remember.  Hunting became his primary interest at a very young age and a boy can't go hunting with out a dog.   Growing up Craig had the opportunity to have had all three of the major retrieving breeds, Labradors, Goldens and Chesapeakes.   As a teenager there were not many days in the fall where Craig couldn't be found following his dogs around the meadows and marshes chasing ducks and pheasants. 

Then came a day Craig decided to purchase a well bred chessie pup and decided the train the dog to a higher level.   He enjoyed working the dog so much that he looked for something for them to do in the off season.   This led Craig to a AKC Hunt Test.   Realizing he had a lot to learn he poured over training material by authors like Rex Car, Dave Rorem, Mike Lardy, D.L. Walters, John and Amy Dahl, Butch Goodwin and Bill Hillman.   Then he went to work on weekends for Pro trainer Pete Fischer and soon he started bringing home ribbons from the upper level hunt test.  He then realized that training was what he wanted  to do.

On August 14th, 2009, Craig purchased Fischer's Kennels & Hunt Club LLC. where he continues the tradition of providing sportsmen with top quality gun dogs and training.  Craig is a Pro Staffer for: Eukanuba, Dogtra and Zink Calls.
