I spoke via phone with the Seminar holder ( Mr. Cocarotenuto from K-9 Nation ) , and although he is close to the "Tufnuf" kennel, they have no affiliation with them at all and he was in fact unaware of the "Tufnuf" kennel's "less than stellar" reputation in the dog world.
My apologies to him for the confusion and my thanks to Mr. Cocarotenuto for clearing this up - I wish him well and may his seminar be a success!
You're not confused. You are being conned
K9 Nation, Canine Civil Defense League, TufNuf Kennels
American Sport Dog combine etc.are ALL Gale Raponi and crew
Gale recently did a seminar in Arizona. He hired two PSA
certified decoys and tried to claim that the seminar was
PSA certified/sponsored. IT was NOT.
A Bernhard Flinks seminar is definitely worth attending. I'd just hate to see the Raponi group get any credibility by their associaltion with Bernhard. You're known by the company you keep. That works both ways.
Thomas, when I spoke with Will I explained that we are new up here in Hannibal, New York...we live here with our German Shepherds on these beautiful grounds only since September. The tufnuf kennel is located a few towns away . We became acquainted and they were kind enough to offer to put the K-9 Nation/ Bernhard Flinks seminar ad on their website. We only just met the people from tufnuf and we are not in business together! K-9 Nation is the sole sponsor of the Bernhard Flinks seminar. You are welcome to come and see for yourself! If you would like further clarification please phone me at 315-564-5459 or I will be more than happy to call you.
K-9 Nation would like to give you some additional information on the Bernhard Flinks seminar to be held from May 11th through May 14th. Our seminar will be organized in a slightly different fashion from other seminars you may have attended in the past.
Included in the price, from 7:30 to 8:30 will be a breakfast ( juice, donuts and coffee), lunch when we can all meet to talk and ask questions, and for dinner, a classic barbeque with pasta.
During the breakfast hour, Bernhard and I will explain the schedule as well as your individual plans for the day. We will be using separate fields, one for obedience and one for protection. In addition, we will have different types of tracking fields, specifically geared for dogs with different levels of training. It is our hope that you will be able to work your dog two times each day.
Please feel free to phone me at 315-564-5459 with any questions you might have.
Sincerely,
Francesco
