HTTL BOARD MEMBERS

Craig is an avid outdoorsman with a passion for fishing and hunting waterfowl. Craig fell in love with retriever field trials and hunt tests after acquiring his Labrador Retriever Blue. Craig’s love and passion for the retriever sports and his dog Blue has led him to share his passion with others. In 2020, Craig started Zoey’s Fowl Retrievers, where he builds advertisement pages and promotes top retriever studs and litters. Craig is also a strong supporter of our veterans. Wanting to help those who have served and share his passion for retrievers led to Craig’s Hero To The Line Project. Hero To The Line works to donate quality bred retrievers to the great men and women who have and currently are serving our country. The goal is to introduce our veterans to the life long love of waterfowl hunting and competitive retriever sports, giving them a new hobby as well as an additional support system.

With over two decades of experience, Ben has earned a reputation for his expertise in waterfowl hunting and molding canines into reliable partners. Krash, his faithful Labrador, is not just a hunting companion, but a valued member of the team, embodying Ben's commitment to excellence and teamwork.

He spends a lot of time teaching clients and their dogs together. He prides himself in being of a dierent mindset than most pros in that he encourages clients to run their own dogs at hunt tests. He gives back to the sport by leading a group of kids each at the HRC Youth Camp every summer. Here, the boys and girls learn all about gun safety, obedience and running a mock hunt test. Participants that do not have a dog to learn with are provided one of the finished dogs he has on hand. His passion for veterans evolved out of a dog he trained, Hawkeye. This dog was owned by Navy Seal, JT Tomlinson, who was killed in action in Afghanistan. He remains close to JT’s family and owns Hawkeye’s ospring, Frog and Six. He was fortunate enough to provide a veteran with a puppy from Six, who continues to carry on Hawkeye and JT’s legacy through the Hero to the Line program.
